Editorial policy & medical review

Who writes this site, who checks it, and the rule that keeps the "Medically Reviewed" badge honest.

Editorial standards

Our editorial team includes independent health researchers, pharmacy verification specialists, and consumer protection analysts. Every article undergoes fact-checking against FDA databases, state pharmacy licensing records, and peer-reviewed research. Pricing claims must trace to a dated source in the dataset; clinical claims must trace to FDA-approved labeling or peer-reviewed trials, cited on the page and cataloged in sources. Partners cannot commission, preview, or veto editorial content, and commissions never touch rankings — the arithmetic is public.

Medical review process

Our medical reviewer is Dr. A. Goher, MD — MBBS, Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 2017. The process runs in three steps: first, the research team drafts content with citations from PubMed, FDA.gov, and manufacturer data; second, Dr. Goher reviews for medical accuracy, flags inaccuracies, and verifies clinical claims against FDA-approved labeling and current best practices; third, content is published with a "Medically Reviewed" badge and a last-reviewed date.

The gating rule: the badge and the reviewer's name appear on an article only after step two has actually happened for that article. Pages awaiting review say "Medical review: pending clinician sign-off" instead — you'll see that label on this site today, because we'd rather show you a pending state than a pretend one. A borrowed badge is the fastest way to make every real one worthless.

Corrections and updates

Substantive errors are corrected within 48 hours of confirmation and logged publicly — the full policy and the log live at /corrections/. Pricing pages carry the dataset version they were built from (currently v2026.08.14), and re-verification runs monthly with the queue published in our methodology.
