Editorial Policy
How we research, write, review and correct the information on eDrugSearch.
Who Writes Our Content
Our pages are written by the eDrugSearch team, led by founder Cary Byrd, who has worked in online pharmacy price comparison since 2007. Drug pages are reviewed by Dr. Diana Rangaves, PharmD, our Pharmacy Editor, before they’re published. Each reviewed page shows her name and the review date.
Where Our Facts Come From
- Drug facts such as uses, strengths, warnings and side effects come from FDA labeling on DailyMed. Generic status, makers and approval dates come from Drugs@FDA, the Orange Book and the FDA’s NDC Directory.
- Prices come from each pharmacy’s own website, as described in how we check prices.
- Laws and import rules are checked against primary sources such as fda.gov, cbp.gov, the Federal Register and the U.S. Code before we publish or update them. We don’t publish a legal claim that only a secondary source supports.
How We Use AI
We use AI tools to help gather public price data, draft plain-English summaries and summarize customer reviews. A person on our team checks AI-assisted work against its sources before it’s published, and drug pages still go through pharmacist review. AI review summaries cover positive and negative reviews alike.
Dates and Updates
Every page shows when it was last updated, and every price shows when it was checked. We update drug pages when FDA labeling changes and pharmacy profiles when a pharmacy’s status changes.
No Medical Advice
Our content is general information, not medical advice. We never tell anyone to start, stop or switch a medication. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your treatment.
How eDrugSearch Makes Money
eDrugSearch is paid for by member subscriptions. Pharmacies are listed free and can’t pay for placement, ratings or reviews. We don’t run ads or tracking pixels on drug pages or account pages, and we don’t use paid or affiliate links. If this ever changes, we’ll say so on this page, and payment will never affect how pharmacies are ranked or reviewed.
Reviews
Pharmacy reviews follow our review guidelines. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, and quotes from other review sites are kept short and credited.
Corrections
If you see something wrong, email support@edrugsearch.com. We review every report, fix errors promptly and update the page date.
