Wolf-dieter Ludwig MD, PhD

Prof. Dr. med. Wolf-Dieter Ludwig, chief physician at the Clinic for Hematology, Oncology and Tumor Immunology, is chairman of the Drug Commission of the German medical profession and has specialized, among other things, in questions relating to the therapeutic safety of drugs. In addition to his presentation, he gives tips on which questions patients should ask their doctor when it comes to prescribing (new) drugs. If used correctly, pharmaceuticals are among the most effective instruments of medical treatment and contribute significantly to the success of modern medicine. When taking drugs, however, mistakes can also be made that reduce the effectiveness, prevent it entirely, or even lead to complications.
