Medical review policy

CompareRx.org writes about prescription medications, so clinical accuracy matters. This policy describes how claims are checked and where our responsibility ends.

What gets reviewed

• Dosing, titration schedules and administration instructions.
• Side effects, warnings and contraindications.
• Efficacy figures from clinical trials, including trial name, population and duration.
• Regulatory status, including whether a product is FDA-approved or compounded.

Sources we check against

FDA-approved prescribing information and label updates, FDA safety communications, ClinicalTrials.gov registrations and results, peer-reviewed journals, and guidance from bodies such as the NIH, CDC and the American Diabetes Association.

Who reviews

Clinical claims are verified by the CompareRx Medical Review Desk, which compares each claim to its cited source before publication. Articles carrying reviewed clinical content display the reviewer on the byline.

What we never do

• Diagnose conditions or recommend a medication or dose for an individual.
• Promise eligibility, coverage, results or weight loss outcomes.
• Present compounded medication as equivalent to FDA-approved branded medication.
• Publish clinical numbers that are not traceable to a cited source.
