Editorial Policy

How we decide what goes on this site, where it comes from, and how mistakes get fixed.

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 We do not publish scraped third-party content as our own.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If you believe something on this site is factually wrong — a price that's clearly stale, a warning that's out of date, a broken data point — we want to fix it.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.

Who writes and reviews this

Guides, condition pages, and comparison pages carry a byline: who wrote it and which credentialed reviewer from our editorial board checked it for medical accuracy, with the date. Individual drug pages are built from structured FDA data rather than reviewed narrative text — see medical review process for exactly what is and isn't reviewed, and how.
