Corrections & Errata

When a substantive error is identified in PakVita content — whether reported by a reader or caught in an internal editorial review — we assess the evidence and publish a correction when it is confirmed. This log records substantive changes; the time needed depends on the issue and the review required.

Corrections policy

  • Substantive corrections (factual errors, dosage errors, drug interactions, significant omissions) are assessed against relevant evidence and logged here when confirmed and published.
  • Minor editorial corrections (grammar, formatting, broken links) are fixed without a log entry.
  • Each correction entry records the page, date, correction type, and a one-sentence description of what changed and why.
  • A substantive content edit may update the page date. A medical-review date changes only when a medical review occurs; formatting changes and deployments do not imply a new medical review.

To report an error, email pakvitaofficial@gmail.com or reach out on Instagram @pakvitaofficial with the page URL and the specific claim you believe is incorrect, along with your source.

Corrections log

Factual
Smoking Pack-Years Calculator

Separated cigarette-exposure thresholds from screening eligibility, which also needs age, quit history and clinical assessment. Removed an unverified quit-line number and price presets, clarified descriptive exposure bands and added input/rounding safeguards.

Factual
Homepage medicine directory

Replaced a Panadol CF card pointing to an unpublished page and removed separately hardcoded medicine facts and prices. Cards now use published canonical medicine files; quick searches no longer guess tablet URLs.

Editorial
Editorial policy and review labels

Removed contradictory claims of licensed sign-off on every page, clarified page-specific reviewer attribution, and restricted the medical-review badge to medical contributors.

Editorial
Privacy policy

Updated disclosures to cover contributor accounts, browser storage, and optional Google Analytics instead of claiming that no accounts or analytics exist.
