Medical Review Process

Our process, step by step

1. Topic and research. We choose topics from the questions patients ask us most. The writer starts from primary sources: clinical trials, FDA prescribing information and medical society guidance.
2. Writing. The writer explains the topic in plain language, cites sources, and flags anything uncertain or still being studied.
3. Clinical review. A licensed clinician checks accuracy, safety information, dosing details and tone. They can request changes or stop publication.
4. Editing and fact-check. An editor checks numbers, quotes and links against their sources, and makes sure risks and alternatives are covered fairly.
5. Publishing. The article goes live with the author, the publish date and the last update date.
6. Ongoing updates. Articles are reviewed again when labeling, research or regulations change, and on a regular schedule.
