Editorial Policy

Sources

We base factual claims on primary sources: peer-reviewed studies (usually found through PubMed), trial records on ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA documents and the Federal Register. Each claim links to its source in the numbered reference list at the end of the article.

How articles are written

Our editors use AI tools to help research and draft articles. Every draft is checked automatically for missing citations and unsupported claims, then read and edited by a person before it can be published.

Medical review

Guides that discuss treatments, doses, side effects or safety are reviewed by a licensed physician on our medical review team. The reviewer's name and the review date appear at the top of each reviewed article.

Updates and corrections

We re-check guides when new trial results or regulatory decisions are published, and show the date of the latest update. If you find an error, email [email protected] and we will correct it and note the change.

Independence

Our coverage is not paid for by manufacturers, pharmacies or clinics. If we ever include sponsored content or affiliate links, we will label them clearly.
