How we write here
- Every clinical claim carries a citation a reader can follow.
- Evidence that runs against our commercial interest is reported alongside evidence that supports it.
- Articles intended for prescribers name a medical reviewer and a review date.
- Nothing here is advice on the treatment of an individual patient, and nothing here promotes a medicine.
Some articles are written primarily for prescribers and some for patients. All of them are open, because good information about this category is scarce and putting it behind a login helps nobody.
