About our health guides

Who writes these articles?

The Avicen Online team writes them with input from our pharmacists. Facts and guidelines are taken from sources such as the Oman Ministry of Health, WHO, NHS and CDC, and product details come from the brands we stock.

Is this medical advice?

No. The articles are general information to help you understand a topic and ask better questions. They do not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist, and they never give medicine doses — follow the leaflet or ask us.

How often is a new article published?

A new guide is published every week, usually on Monday. Topics follow the season in Oman — flu season, Ramadan, back to school, summer heat and winter dry skin.

Are the products mentioned available to order?

Yes. Every product link goes to an item that was in stock when the article was written, with delivery across Oman and free delivery on orders above OMR 10. If something sells out, the link may change to a similar product or its category.

Can I suggest a topic or ask a question?

Please do. Message our pharmacists through the chat page or WhatsApp and we will answer directly — popular questions become future articles.

The Avicen Online Health & Wellness Blog covers the everyday health questions families in Oman ask at the pharmacy counter: skincare for heat and humidity, baby and child care, women's and men's health, diabetes and blood pressure, seasonal colds and flu, nutrition and food safety. Each guide is written in plain language, points to genuine products available from our licensed pharmacy, and tells you clearly when it is time to see a doctor.
