Editorial & medical review

Who checks this, and what happens when we're wrong

The medical reviewer

Dr. A. Goher, MD — MBBS, Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 2017 — reviews health content on this site. The pipeline runs in three steps: the research team drafts with citations from PubMed, FDA.gov and manufacturer data; Dr. Goher reviews for medical accuracy, flags inaccuracies and verifies clinical claims; content publishes with a "Medically Reviewed" badge and a last-reviewed date. A page that hasn't finished step two says MEDICAL SIGN-OFF PENDING in its byline — the badge is earned per-article, never inherited.

Who else touches a page

Independent health researchers, pharmacy verification specialists and consumer-protection analysts staff the editorial side; drafts are checked against FDA databases, state pharmacy licensing records and the primary literature. Where evidence is missing, the gap is printed where the claim would have gone — the microdose and sublingual notes on the audit files, and inside quiz results, are that policy working.

The error desk

Mistakes get fixed in place under a dated note, and pricing errors trigger an off-cycle audit of the affected file. Stale figure, broken claim, missing program: [email protected]. The fastest way to improve this site is to catch it being wrong.

Lines we don't cross

No invented testimonials or composite "readers." No calling a compounded product the "same medication" as a brand — same active ingredient is the accurate phrase, and the absence of FDA review travels with every price. No pay-for-placement in any ranking, belt or board; commercial ties live in the open on the ownership page and inside link markup.
