Medical practice specialising in drugs
Dr. Caudevilla runs a medical practice specialising in drugs in Madrid, in the Lavapiés neighbourhood. He sees patients in person (by appointment only) and via videoconference.
Better known as DoctorX
Dr. Caudevilla's professional career has revolved around drug use, and especially the impact of the Internet on consumption.
Online forums and social networks often act as a space for debate and as a source of information about drugs. These channels break away from the universal message of the major traditional media, always focused on prevention, in order to recognise the nuances of consumption, offering people an unprecedented opportunity to take part in their own decision-making processes.
This profile is the reason why his colleagues gave Caudevilla the nickname DoctorX. Today, DrX provides expert advice on a range of Internet forums on issues that matter to drug users, such as possible interactions between medications, drugs and consumption patterns.
Scientific publications
Doctor Fernando Caudevilla has authored more than thirty scientific publications related to drugs, as well as chapters and books, including works on medical cannabis and recreational use.
