How we source claims
For drug facts, safety warnings, dosing schedules, approvals and contraindications, we prioritize FDA labels, DailyMed records, FDA safety communications and official manufacturer prescribing information. For coverage and pricing, we prioritize CMS, Medicare.gov, Medicaid sources, official savings pages and maintained data trackers. For nutrition and general health context, we use government health sources, clinical bodies and peer-reviewed research.
Source rules
- Medical and regulatory claims should be checkable against a public source.
- High-risk pages need stronger source density than general explainers.
- Trial averages are not presented as personal predictions.
- We do not use forum posts, social media posts, clinic marketing pages or AI summaries as sources for medical facts.
- We do not invent medical reviewers, credentials, patient stories or expert quotes.
