Drug fact of the day

The “rx” symbol is thought to come from the Latin recipe, meaning “take.”

Where This Drug Information Comes From

Every page is assembled from official sources and reviewed before it’s published — here’s exactly how.

🏛️ Official FDA sources

Each drug page is anchored to the manufacturer’s FDA-filed label of record (the same SPL documents published on DailyMed) plus the FDA’s National Drug Code directory of marketed products — synced on an automated weekly cycle so forms, strengths, and manufacturers stay current.

🔗 National Library of Medicine

Drug identities and relationships (generic ↔ brand ↔ product) follow RxNorm, the NLM’s standard medication vocabulary, and pages link out to MedlinePlus patient education from the same institution.

🧑‍⚕️ Written for people, reviewed by a pharmacist

The plain-language summaries are drafted with AI directly from the official label, then reviewed by a licensed pharmacist before anything is published — no page goes live automatically. Curated by , Clinical Pharmacist.

📊 Safety & cost context

Shortage and recall status come from FDA feeds, adverse-event report counts from FDA FAERS, pharmacy-cost benchmarks from CMS (NADAC), and supplement-interaction data from the licensed Natural Medicines database — each labeled with its source where it appears.
