Medical review

Medical review process

Which pages need review, who reviews them, and how disagreements and re-review are handled.

Medical, safety, dosing-literacy, pharmacy-safety, and clinical-research pages require review by a named, qualified reviewer before they are indexed. Reviewers are identified with their credentials and NPI, and review scope and dates are shown on the page.

Which pages require review

Any page making medication-specific, safety, dosing-literacy, pharmacy-safety, or clinical-research claims. Trust, methodology, cost, and directory pages are editorial and do not require medical sign-off, though they follow the same sourcing standards.

Disagreement and re-review

Where a reviewer and the editorial team disagree, the more conservative, better-sourced position is published and the disagreement noted. Medical pages are re-reviewed at least annually and after any material change. Reviewer profiles: reviewer directory.
