Sources we use
We base drug information on the most authoritative source available, in this order:
- Official product information: FDA labels (DailyMed and openFDA) and EMA product information (summaries of product characteristics and public assessment reports).
- National and international guidelines, for example from NICE, the WHO and the CDC.
- For local trade names and prices in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar: the product as marketed in that country, shown for reference. Names and prices can differ from the current national register.
Pages name the sources they are based on. Third-party names identify sources only and do not imply endorsement.
How articles are written
Quick Read articles summarise official product information and guidelines for healthcare professionals in plain, structured language. Each article cites the official sources it is based on and, where available, links to the reference pages of the medicines it mentions. Cited sources are re-checked, and the date of the last check is shown as "Source checked".
Medical review
Articles that show a "Medically reviewed by" line were reviewed by our medical reviewer, a licensed pharmacist, against the official product information and the guidelines they cite. Articles without that line have not had a named medical review yet.

Review dates
"Last reviewed" is the date of the last medical review of an article. "Source checked" is the date its cited sources were last checked. Labels and guidelines change, so always check the current official product information before you dispense or prescribe.
Corrections
If you find an error, write to us with the page address and what you think is wrong. We check every report against the sources and correct confirmed errors.

How we use AI
AI features in MediHelp, such as MediMate and AI search, generate answers automatically. They can be wrong or incomplete, show references so you can check them, and do not replace your judgement. In our editorial work, AI tools help draft and translate Quick Read articles; drafts cite their sources and go through automated checks before publication, and only articles with a "Medically reviewed by" line have had a named medical review.
Independence and advertising
The app can show advertising, for example the optional short video that earns points on the free plan. Advertising never decides what a page says: advertisers and pharmaceutical companies do not choose, pay for or review our content, and no medicine is listed or ranked because of a payment. MediHelp is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the FDA, the EMA, NICE, the WHO, the CDC or any pharmaceutical company.
