How we research, verify and update

Sources

We rank sources in this order and say which kind we used: FDA labels, approval letters and safety communications; ClinicalTrials.gov registrations and peer‑reviewed publications; company press releases and SEC filings; court dockets; government data from CMS, KFF and state agencies; then reputable trade and general press. Reddit and other community discussion is used only to understand what people are asking, never as a source of fact.

Verification

Every article is fact‑checked by a second reviewer who re‑traces the most important claims to their sources before publication. Every page shows a "last verified" date. Time‑sensitive facts, especially prices, approval status, litigation status and coverage rules, are re‑checked against the primary page, and we mark anything we could not confirm as unverified rather than guessing.

Medical framing

We describe what labels, guidelines and studies say. We do not recommend a medication, a dose or a change in treatment. Where an article walks through something practical, such as how a pen works or what a missed‑dose rule is, it summarizes the FDA‑approved instructions and tells you to follow your own prescription and provider. Nothing on this site is a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Independence

We accept no payment from drugmakers, pharmacies or telehealth companies for coverage. Where we link to a telehealth service through an affiliate program, the link is labeled and our affiliate disclosure applies. Affiliate relationships never determine which providers we mention, how we describe them or what we say about compounded medications.

Dates and prices

Dates are given in full. Prices are in US dollars, state whether they are list, self‑pay or insured figures, and carry the date we checked them. Where a manufacturer publishes only a range or a program tier, we say so instead of presenting a single number.

Corrections and updates

When we correct a factual error, we fix the text and note the correction on the page. When a fact changes, for example a new approval or a price cut, we update the article and its "last verified" date. You can report an error through our contact page.

Spelling and audience

We write for a general US adult audience in American English at roughly a tenth‑grade reading level. Drug names follow the US brand and FDA conventions.
