How We Research and Use Sources

Source order

1. FDA medication guides, safety communications, and approved labeling
2. Government and professional medication-safety guidance
3. Systematic reviews and high-quality pharmacoepidemiology research
4. Current manufacturer labeling used only for verified product-specific facts

How claims are handled

We separate established guidance, research findings, practical reader steps, and unknowns. A seller, organization, or press release may document what that party says; it does not independently prove the claim.

How Medication Label and Medication List Pages Are Built and Checked

Pages on this site start from the questions readers search about medicines, such as what a label means or what to write on a medication list. The editorial team reads the maker’s own label and ingredient listing, notes the date it was seen, and looks up current research from sources such as the FDA and MedlinePlus. Sources are linked in the sentence that relies on them.

AI drafts each page from that material. Before publication, automated checks test its claims and wording, and a separate AI system, different from the one that drafted the page, compares the draft with its sources. The people who set the method review samples of pages and direct changes.

Freshness

Health, safety, legal, regulatory, and school-policy information can change. Pages should show a review date and be checked again when guidance or the underlying evidence changes.

What we never invent

We do not invent hands-on testing, credentials, interviews, institutional affiliations, quotations, study results, or personal outcomes.
