Medical review policy

Pages that make clinical claims are reviewed by a licensed clinician before publication and at least annually after.

Reviewers

• Dr. S. Shuwart, MD, Medical Reviewer — MBBS, Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 2017

Our medical review process

1. Research team drafts content with citations from PubMed, FDA.gov, and manufacturer data.
2. Dr. Shuwart reviews for medical accuracy, flags inaccuracies, and verifies clinical claims.
3. Content is published with a "Medically Reviewed" badge and last-reviewed date.

A page is described as medically reviewed only after the reviewer has signed it; the sign-off date appears on the page and in its structured data. Pages awaiting sign-off carry a "pending clinical review" notice and are not indexed.

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.

Scope

Reviewed: mechanism, efficacy and safety statements; dosing descriptions from labels; interaction and contraindication statements; formulation evidence grades. Not reviewed, because it is not clinical: pricing, terms and policy content.

What we do not do

• Give individual dosing or treatment recommendations.
• Describe compounded, microdose, orally disintegrating or sublingual products as equivalent to approved products.
• State that a product works or is safe without a labelled indication or a named trial.
