Medical Review Policy

Commitment to Medical Accuracy

Legit-Meds is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based medical and pharmaceutical information. All content that contains clinical claims, drug information, or health-related guidance undergoes a structured medical review process before publication and at regular intervals thereafter.

This policy explains how we ensure the accuracy and reliability of the medical information presented on our site.

Qualifications of Medical Reviewers

Content requiring medical review is evaluated by qualified professionals, including:

• Licensed Pharmacists: Registered pharmacists with active licensure who verify drug information, dosing references, interactions, and pharmaceutical terminology.
• Licensed Physicians: Board-certified or licensed physicians who assess clinical claims, disease-related information, and health guidance for accuracy and appropriateness.
• Other Healthcare Professionals: Relevant specialists may be consulted for content in specialized clinical areas when needed.

Medical reviewers are selected based on their professional credentials, relevant clinical experience, and subject matter expertise.

Independence from Commercial Relationships

Medical reviewers at Legit-Meds operate independently from any commercial or affiliate relationships. Our review process is structured so that:

• Medical reviewers do not have financial interests in the pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, or telehealth services discussed in the content they review.
• Review decisions are based solely on clinical accuracy and adherence to authoritative medical sources.
• Commercial teams have no influence over the outcome of medical reviews.

This separation ensures that medical review decisions are driven by evidence, not commercial considerations.

The Review Process

All medical content on Legit-Meds follows a multi-step review process:

1. Initial Editorial Review: Content is drafted by healthcare writers and checked for factual claims, proper sourcing, and clarity.
2. Medical Accuracy Review: A licensed pharmacist or physician reviews the content for clinical accuracy, including drug information, dosing, side effects, contraindications, and health claims.
3. Fact-Checking: All clinical claims are verified against authoritative, peer-reviewed, and government sources. This includes cross-referencing information with primary source documents.
4. Source Verification: Each cited source is checked to confirm it is current, authoritative, and accurately represented in the content.
5. Approval and Publication: Content is approved for publication only after all review steps are completed and any identified issues are resolved.

Authoritative Sources

Medical content on Legit-Meds is reviewed and verified against information from the following types of authoritative sources:

• FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration): Drug approvals, safety communications, labeling information, and regulatory guidance.
• NIH (National Institutes of Health): Peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, and health information from the National Library of Medicine and associated institutes.

• MedlinePlus: Patient-oriented health information from the National Library of Medicine.
• Peer-reviewed medical and pharmaceutical journals: Published studies and systematic reviews relevant to the topics covered.

Update Frequency

To ensure ongoing accuracy, medical content on Legit-Meds is reviewed on the following schedule:

• Annual Review: All medical content is reviewed at least once per year to verify that information remains current and accurate.

Limitations

While we strive for accuracy, Legit-Meds is an educational resource and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Our medical review process is designed to ensure the information we publish is consistent with current authoritative sources, but:

• Medical knowledge evolves, and information may change over time.
• Content is general in nature and does not address individual patient circumstances.
• Readers should always consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal medical decisions.
