Our Editorial Policy & Content Standards

Updated on 01/14/2026

Our Commitment to Trustworthy Health Information

At GoodRxMedicine, we are committed to providing accurate, responsible, and easy-to-understand health information. All content published on our platform is designed to support informed health decisions and general awareness—it is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This editorial policy outlines how our health content is researched, written, reviewed, and maintained. Transparency and accountability guide our process so readers can understand where our information comes from and why it can be trusted.

Who Creates Our Content

Our health content is written by experienced medical and health writers trained to interpret clinical information responsibly and communicate it clearly to a general audience.

Writers are required to:

• Use evidence-based, medically verified sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the World Health Organization (WHO), etc.

• Present information in a balanced, factual, and unbiased manner

• Avoid personal opinions, unsupported claims, or exaggerated conclusions

• Clearly distinguish established medical evidence from emerging or evolving research

Each article clearly identifies its author to maintain transparency and accountability.

Sources and Evidence Standards

All health content is grounded in reputable, verifiable medical sources. We prioritize information from:

• Peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals

• Established clinical guidelines and consensus statements

• Recognized public health and regulatory authorities

• Standard pharmacology and drug reference texts

Anecdotal evidence, unverified claims, and non-medical opinion sources are not used to support health content. Where appropriate, sources are cited or referenced to allow readers to verify information independently.

Research and Editorial Review Process

Every article begins with structured research using credible medical references. Once drafted, the content undergoes editorial review focused on:

• Medical and scientific accuracy

• Clarity, readability, and responsible tone

• Balanced presentation of benefits, risks, and limitations

Editors work closely with writers to ensure complex medical topics are explained clearly without oversimplification or misrepresentation.

All content at GoodRxMedicine is proofread and quality-checked for factual consistency, completeness, and clarity before progressing to medical review and final approval.

Medical Review and Clinical Accuracy

Content that includes clinical, pharmacological, or treatment-related information is reviewed by licensed healthcare professionals, such as physicians, pharmacists, or other qualified medical experts with subject-matter expertise.

Medical reviewers evaluate content for:

• Scientific and clinical accuracy

• Patient safety considerations

• Alignment with current medical standards and guidelines

• Appropriate framing for a general, non-clinical audience

Medical review ensures that published information reflects accepted medical knowledge at the time of publication.

Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence

At GoodRxMedicine, we may use artificial intelligence tools to support parts of our content workflow, such as organizing research and improving readability.

AI is used strictly as a support tool and never as an independent source of medical information. All AI-assisted content is reviewed by human editors, and all clinical details are validated through trusted medical sources and professional review.

AI does not replace expert judgment and does not independently create or publish health content.

Content Scope and Limitations

We DO NOT publish content that:

• Promotes unapproved, unsafe, or misleading medical uses

• Encourages self-medication without an appropriate medical context

• Claims guaranteed outcomes, “miracle cures,” or exaggerated results

• Discourages consultation with licensed healthcare professionals

When off-label or emerging uses are discussed, they are clearly identified and presented with appropriate clinical context, caution, and limitations.

Accuracy, Updates, and Ongoing Review

Medical knowledge evolves, and we regularly review our content to ensure it remains accurate and current. Articles may be updated when:

• Clinical guidelines change

• New safety or regulatory information becomes available

• Errors or outdated statements are identified

All updates undergo the same editorial and medical review standards as newly published content. Where applicable, articles display the date of the most recent review or update.

Language and Accessibility

We strive to present medical information in clear, plain language that is accessible to non-medical readers. Medical terminology is explained when used, and content is structured to support readability and understanding.

Our goal at GoodRxMedicine is to inform and empower readers without overwhelming, confusing, or misleading them.

Reader Feedback and Corrections

We welcome feedback from readers and encourage them to report potential errors or outdated information.

All feedback is reviewed by our editorial team and escalated to medical reviewers when appropriate. Verified issues are corrected promptly and responsibly as part of our commitment to transparency and accuracy.

If you see an article that could be improved or have any other feedback for us, please contact us at support@goodrxmedicine.com.

Regulatory Awareness

Our content is created with awareness of applicable healthcare and pharmaceutical communication regulations. However, medical standards, drug approvals, and treatment guidelines may vary by region.

Readers are encouraged to consult local healthcare professionals and relevant regulatory guidance for information specific to their location.

What Our Content Is—and Is Not

Our content is educational and informational in nature. It does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

For personal medical concerns or treatment decisions, readers should always seek advice from a licensed healthcare provider.
