Social Media Community Guidelines

We see social media as an opportunity to share what is important to us, and also to stay close to our community and hear your voices. You can interact with us via @mentions, comments or direct messages. We do our best to stay connected with you and reply to queries as quickly as we can. However, as much as we would love to stay in touch, we operate in a highly regulated industry and some conversations we cannot allow on our channels.

So here are some guidelines that we must follow and we ask you to do the same.

We will delete any comment that mentions products, be it our own or another company’s. Commercial content advertising a product or a service will also be permanently deleted. The information shared on our social media accounts cannot replace consultation with a physician and pharmacist. The best source of information about products is your healthcare professional.

We want to hear about any issues you might have experienced with one of our products, whether it's a medicine, a diagnostic test, or a device. However, social media is not the best place to do this. Please report all adverse events or complaints related to our products by contacting us at istanbul.adversolay@roche.com for Roche Pharmaceuticals solutions and turkey.ruhsat@roche.com for Roche Diagnostics solutions. If you do share an adverse event with us via social media, we may follow up with you and ask for more information in order to report the event. We may remove your post to protect your privacy.

If you have questions regarding a treatment or medication, please consult your healthcare provider first or get in touch with our medical team. It's not that we don’t want to help, but social media is not the right place to discuss private health information.

We welcome everyone’s opinion. This channel is an open space for all users interested in discussing the topics published by Roche. We ask that you respect those users who are interested in a genuine conversation by making sure that the conversations taking place on our channel stay on topic and are of value to all users.

We may delete messages that:

• Include profanity, defamatory, libelous, offensive, abusive, discriminatory or demeaning language or content (including images, videos and links)

• Are disparaging, threatening, condone violence or illegal behavior

• Are excessively repetitive and/or disruptive to the community or are spam

• Violate the platform's Terms of Use

Please note that third-party platforms also have access to information you share via social media. For additional information about Roche Privacy Policy, read our
