Disclaimer for medical advice

Hi am currently building a website and the topic is a specific type of medical treatment. I have no previous expertise within the field but I am doing my research as throughly as I can.

However, many sources say different things and it is hard to get a clear grip on which information is actually the correct one.

Hence, I would like to know if any of you guys have any experiences of websites targeting the field of medicine and if so, how have you been writing the disclaimer?

Is there anything in particular I should be concerned about? I am thinking of writing a specific text in bold warning for potential side effects and also link to the authority och government websites covering the field.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

Just search around on "medical" type sites. Here is the disclaimer from WebMD:

if you wanna cover your ass you should add a disclaimer page with all the normal statements - like "contents of this site provided as is without any guarantee... the info in this site can not a substitute medical advise ... you should always validate the data given here with your personal doctor... etc."
