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.
