MediSearcher publishes medication, pharmacy, pricing, access and safety information designed to make healthcare information easier to research, understand and compare.
Our content includes conventional editorial articles and guides as well as structured medication information used by features such as the MediSearcher Medication Comparator. Because our content concerns medications and healthcare services, we aim to clearly distinguish factual information and comparisons from medical advice and commercial promotion.
How We Research Our Content
MediSearcher uses publicly available information from sources that may include regulatory agencies, official prescribing information, government and public healthcare organisations, medication manufacturers, pharmacy and healthcare provider websites, insurers and other relevant sources.
The sources and research criteria used depend on the type of information being researched. Depending on the subject, we may review factors including:
- Approved medication uses
- Active ingredients and drug classes
- Medication formulations, strengths and administration
- Prescription requirements
- Pharmacy licensing or registration information
- Medication availability
- Published pricing and cost information
- Insurance, savings and access information
- Delivery options and geographic availability
- Provider credentials and transparency information
We aim to distinguish authoritative medical or regulatory information from commercial information supplied by pharmacies, manufacturers or healthcare providers. Commercial or marketing claims are not treated as independent evidence simply because they appear on a provider website.
More information about our research criteria and source approach is available in our Research Methodology.
Editorial Content & Structured Medication Information
MediSearcher publishes different types of content, and not every page is produced in exactly the same way.
Editorial articles and guides may involve researching a particular question, healthcare market, medication, provider or development and presenting that research in written form. These pages may include an identified author or reviewer and may be updated as relevant information changes.
Structured medication information is organised into consistent fields so factual information can be presented and compared across medications. This information may be used in medication reference pages, comparison features and other MediSearcher tools.
The MediSearcher Medication Comparator uses reviewed structured medication information to present relevant factual differences between two or three medications. Depending on the comparison, this may include approved uses, drug classes, formulations and strengths, administration, prescription status, cost benchmarks and other characteristics.
Structured comparison does not mean automated medical advice. The Medication Comparator is designed to organise and explain reviewed factual information, not determine which treatment is appropriate for an individual.
Sources, Evidence & Transparency
Where structured information is used, MediSearcher may standardise information from multiple authoritative sources so equivalent facts can be presented consistently across medications.
We aim to retain source attribution and review information so important comparison points can be traced to the evidence supporting them. Where available in the Medication Comparator, users can use Explore to view additional context and Verify to inspect source and evidence information.
When information is not established by the reviewed evidence, we aim to avoid presenting an unsupported assumption as a confirmed fact. Information that was not found in reviewed sources should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that something is not true.
How We Compare Medications & Providers
MediSearcher is intended to help users understand relevant differences rather than provide a universal ranking of medications, pharmacies or healthcare services.
For medication comparisons, we present factual differences and relevant context without selecting a treatment winner or recommending which medication a person should use. The presence of two medications in a comparison does not mean that they are interchangeable or equally appropriate for a particular condition or individual.
For pharmacy and healthcare service comparisons, relevant considerations may include location, prescription requirements, medication availability, pricing, delivery options and other characteristics of the service being compared.
Users should verify time-sensitive information directly with the relevant provider, manufacturer, insurer or regulator and seek appropriately qualified healthcare advice for treatment decisions.
Accuracy and Updates
Medical, regulatory, healthcare service, medication availability, pricing, insurance and pharmacy information can change. We review and update information where appropriate, but information may change between reviews or updates.
Relevant pages may display a last-updated, last-reviewed or verification date to help readers understand when information was most recently reviewed, revised or checked.
Where structured medication information is supported by source evidence, source and verification information may also be made available through MediSearcher’s comparison tools.
Review, Authors & Expertise
Selected MediSearcher editorial content may include an identified author or reviewer. Relevant credentials and background information are provided on author or reviewer profile pages where applicable.
Structured medication information may instead be reviewed and maintained as part of MediSearcher’s research and evidence framework rather than being attributed as a separately authored article.
The MediSearcher research and editorial framework is overseen by Mattias Hagman, PhD, founder and editor of MediSearcher.
Editorial or research review does not replace consultation with a licensed healthcare professional. MediSearcher does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication or provide individualized medical advice.
Commercial Relationships & Editorial Independence
MediSearcher may receive compensation through affiliate or other commercial relationships with some providers or services mentioned on the site.
Commercial relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions, the factual medication information presented in the Medication Comparator or which medication is medically appropriate for an individual.
An affiliate or commercial relationship should not be interpreted as an endorsement of a particular medication, pharmacy, healthcare provider or service.
For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Corrections
We aim to correct material factual errors when they are identified and to update information when a material change makes existing content inaccurate or misleading.
Corrections may involve editorial content, structured medication information or information presented through MediSearcher tools such as the Medication Comparator.
If you believe information on MediSearcher is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated, please contact us and include the URL of the relevant page and details of the issue.
