Social media sites enable us to interact and communicate with people in a way that traditional websites cannot. We use social media as part of our commitment to transparency and to provide information and updates on our business.
We have a presence on several social media platforms that you can use to keep up to date with Biogen news and activities. These accounts are subject to our community guidelines, which can be reviewed below.
We encourage you to interact by following us and discussing relevant topics. However, Biogen expects that followers will be respectful of others. Please read through these simple rules, and check back from time to time because they may change:
- Due to the regulatory environment in which we operate, we cannot offer medical advice or otherwise engage in a promotion or discussion about specific products or treatment options — ours or other companies’ — on our social properties. Your healthcare professional remains your best source of information about medicines and treatments. We do not guarantee we will reply to all comments.
- The following content is not acceptable and can be subject to deletion or block users who violate these terms:
- Content that includes profanity, defamatory, libelous and offensive or demeaning language (including images, videos and links)
- Content that is misleading, fraudulent or deceptive
- Disparaging or threatening comments about others
- Content about specific products or treatment options
- Posts that are excessively repetitive and/or disruptive to the community or are SPAM-like in nature

This information is required to be submitted to the Biogen Drug Safety department and/or regulatory authorities.
Medical and health topics may be discussed on Biogen social properties but should not be construed as medical advice.

Please note that we may unfollow a user who dramatically changes their mission and objectives, or whom we feel violates our community guidelines.
We want all of Biogen followers to feel free to share.

Please check often for updates, as we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify these community guidelines at any time.

Consequently, Biogen may take any actions it deems appropriate to ensure a particular site is not disrupted or abused in any way.
In addition to the privacy policy and terms of use of the third-party social media platform, your use of our social properties are governed by Biogen’s Terms and Conditions of Use and Privacy Policy.
