Editorial policy

A dose is only printed with a tag that says where it comes from: an approved label, a human trial or a reported range. Each cited line is matched to a quote from its source, and every page shows the date it was last checked.

How a dose is labelled

  • Label schedule. Taken from the current US prescribing information or Canadian product monograph. Where the two differ, the page says so.
  • Trial doses, no label. Taken from a published human study, with the study linked. Doses set by body weight are left that way and not converted.
  • Reported range, not a label dose. Shown because people look for it, and marked on the chart, in the page summary and in the questions. The page lists what human studies exist, even when they did not test that range.

If there is no human dose at all, there is no chart.

Which sources are used

Primary sources only: drug labels on DailyMed, approval records on Drugs@FDA, Health Canada's Drug Product Database, papers indexed on PubMed, and trial records on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Vendor pages, forums and other dosage sites are not used as sources for any fact.

Where no human dose exists at all, a page may show what users report online. That sits in its own box, marked as peer reports, and is never mixed into a chart or a study table.

How a citation is checked

Each line that cites a paper is stored with a short quote from that paper's abstract or from the label. A script opens every PubMed record, confirms the title matches and confirms the quote is in the text. A line that fails is not published.

Each page also lists what was looked for and not found, so that a missing number is not mistaken for one that was left out.

Dates and changes

Every dosage and profile page has a last-checked date and a change log. Legal status is checked against the regulators' databases on the date shown.

When something changes, the data file is updated and every page built from it changes with it. The change is added to the log on the page.

How pages are worded

Pages describe what a label says, what a study gave and what people report. They do not tell the reader what to take. Nothing without an approved label is described as safe, proven or recommended.

Where the research has a gap, the page says there is a gap.
