Editorial Policy

Sourcing standard

Every factual claim about a drug's uses, warnings, dosing, or interactions on this site is sourced from official FDA structured product labeling (via openFDA and DailyMed) or another cited public source — not summarized secondhand from another consumer health site, and not generated without a source to check it against. Where content is drawn from public datasets (FDA Orange Book, CMS Medicare Part D spending, WHO AWaRe classification), we link to or name that source directly.

Original content, not republished scraped text

Some of our early research process involved reviewing existing consumer drug-information articles to understand what questions people commonly have about a given antibiotic or condition. Where that research informed a page, the page itself is written independently — either from scratch or substantially rewritten and fact-checked against primary sources — rather than republished. We do not publish scraped third-party content as our own.

AI-assisted drafting

Some content on this site is drafted with AI assistance and then fact-checked against the primary sources listed above before publishing. We don't think that's something to hide — but we also don't think it's a substitute for sourcing discipline. If AI-assisted drafting can't be checked against a real source, it doesn't go up.

What we will never publish

• Personalized medical advice. No content on this site is written for "you" specifically — no dosing recommendations, no "take this instead of that" for your situation.
• An interactive drug interaction checker with free-text input. We show known interactions listed on official labeling, but we deliberately don't build a tool that lets you enter your own medication list and get a personalized safety verdict — that's a clinical decision-support function that belongs with a licensed pharmacist or your prescriber, not a content site.
• Sponsored placement disguised as neutral information. If that ever changes, it'll be disclosed clearly, not folded into the page.

Corrections

If you believe something on this site is factually wrong — a price that's clearly stale, a warning that's out of date, a broken data point — we want to fix it. We don't have a public contact form live yet; in the meantime, treat any drug page's "last updated" date and sources list as the first place to check for what's changed since a correction might be needed.

Where we are now, honestly

RxHelp does not currently have a named, licensed medical reviewer (pharmacist or physician) attached to content. Content is checked against official FDA and public health sources rather than reviewed by a credentialed individual. See our medical review process page for the specifics of what that does and doesn't mean, and why we're flagging it here rather than overstating our review process.
