EDITORIAL STANDARD

Editorial policy

Give readers the source before the explanation, and describe uncertainty before discussing a conclusion.

Source hierarchy

For a specific medicine, approval status, labelling and safety updates are checked first against a regulator's formal record or official label. Research and medical context may use peer-reviewed journals and public bodies such as WHO or NIH, with links listed on the page.

Publication process

  1. An editor records the product, market and source version.
  2. A review role checks whether key facts return to a primary source.
  3. The page displays its authoring role, review role and last-reviewed date.
  4. A broken source, label update or substantiated reader concern sends the page back to review.

Corrections

If you identify an error in fact, link or wording, use the contact page. We log and verify the concern and correct the page where warranted; useful correction history is not silently removed.
