This policy explains how we choose sources, write and check our pages, and keep our content independent from advertising and commercial interests.
Our aim
We want every page on MedInfoBase to be accurate, easy to understand and easy to check. We write in plain English for patients and the public, while keeping the detail that pharmacists, doctors and buyers need.
Sources we use
- Registration and price records: the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) and other official Pakistani sources.
- Medicine and health guides: national health services and public health agencies (for example the NHS, CDC and the World Health Organization), medicine regulators and official medicine leaflets, national clinical guidelines (for example NICE), and recognised professional bodies.
- Procurement specifications: international and national standards, regulator guidance and manufacturers’ published technical data.
We only use a source after we have opened and read it. We do not write from memory, and we do not copy text from other websites. Every guide lists the sources it was written from.
What we do not publish
- No dosing instructions. Our medicine and condition guides do not tell you how much of a medicine to take, how often or for how long. These depend on the person and must come from your prescriber and the leaflet inside the pack.
- No brand recommendations. Our guides describe medicines by their generic names. We do not tell readers which brand to buy.
- No unsupported claims. Health statements must be backed by a reliable source.
- No paid editorial content. Companies cannot pay to appear in, change or remove editorial content.
How pages are written and checked
Pages are prepared by the MedInfoBase team. We use software tools, including AI writing assistants, to help draft and check pages. These tools work only from the sources listed on each page, and every page must pass our checks before it is published:
- every statement is traced to a listed source;
- automatic checks look for missing sources, dosing instructions, brand names and other errors;
- pages that fail a check are held back and fixed.
Our work is led by Dr. Aqeel Nasim, a pharmacist with a PhD in Clinical Pharmacy, who sets the rules every page must follow. Guides are reviewed by members of our review panel. Pages reviewed by a panel member will show the reviewer’s name and the date of review.
Prices and medicine records
Prices on MedInfoBase are officially listed maximum retail prices, not quotations or the price a particular pharmacy charges. Where a record cannot be matched with confidence to a medicine, strength or pack, we hold it back rather than guess.
Independence and conflicts of interest
Advertising and paid services are kept separate from editorial work. Anyone who writes or reviews our content must tell us about financial links with companies whose products they write about, and does not review those pages.
Keeping pages up to date
Registration and price data are checked against official sources on a regular schedule. Guides are reviewed when their sources change or when readers report a problem.
Corrections and feedback
If you think something is wrong, please tell us through our contact page or email info@medinfobase.com. See our Corrections Policy for how we handle reports.
