What “Medically Reviewed” Means

Where a GoodRxTab page specifically states that it has been Medically Reviewed by Dr. Vivek Bhise, the attribution refers to the medical review of the information presented on that particular page.

Medical review helps assess the content for appropriate medical context, accuracy and responsible presentation at the time of review.

It does not mean that every page published on GoodRxTab has been reviewed by Dr. Vivek Bhise.

Only pages specifically displaying his medical-review attribution should be treated as content reviewed by him.

Medical Review Is Separate From Patient Care

Dr. Vivek Bhise's role as a GoodRxTab Medical Reviewer relates to published website content.

Medical-review attribution does not mean that Dr. Vivek Bhise has:

• Examined the website visitor
• Reviewed the visitor's complete medical history
• Diagnosed an individual medical condition
• Issued a prescription to the visitor
• Selected a medicine for an individual customer
• Determined an individual's dosage
• Approved an individual GoodRxTab order
• Reviewed every prescription submitted through GoodRxTab

The medical-content review process and the processing of individual medicine orders are separate activities.

Content Research and Evidence

GoodRxTab aims to use reputable and verifiable sources when preparing medicine and health information for medical review.

Depending on the topic, sources may include recognised health organisations, medicine regulators, established clinical guidance, peer-reviewed literature and official prescribing information.

Examples of sources that may be used within the GoodRxTab editorial process include:

• World Health Organization (WHO)
• U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• National Institutes of Health (NIH)
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• National Health Service (NHS)
• PubMed
• NICE clinical guidance
• DailyMed

The appropriate source depends on the medical statement being reviewed.

Medical Review and Editorial Independence

Medical review should help ensure that health information is presented responsibly regardless of whether a medicine is available through the GoodRxTab catalogue.

Reviewed medical content should avoid unsupported claims such as:

• Guaranteed cure
• Guaranteed effectiveness
• No side effects
• Safe for everyone
• Guaranteed treatment results
• Unsupported claims that one treatment is superior to every alternative

Important risks, warnings and limitations should not be intentionally omitted simply because content relates to a product represented on GoodRxTab.

Author and Medical Reviewer Roles

The person who writes medical content and the person who medically reviews it may have different responsibilities.

Selected GoodRxTab medicine and health content may identify a Medical Content Writer separately from Dr. Vivek Bhise as the Medical Reviewer.

This distinction helps readers understand who prepared the content and who performed additional medical review where applicable.

Medical Review and Manufacturer Information

Dr. Vivek Bhise's medical-review role is separate from the pharmaceutical manufacturers represented in the GoodRxTab catalogue.

A manufacturer appearing on a reviewed medicine page does not automatically mean that the manufacturer:

• Participated in the medical review
• Employs the reviewer
• Endorses the reviewer
• Endorses GoodRxTab
• Has a direct partnership with GoodRxTab

Content Updates and Corrections

Medical information can change as new evidence, safety information, prescribing guidance or regulatory information becomes available.

Content reviewed by Dr. Vivek Bhise may therefore be updated when important information changes or when a material factual error is identified.

If a reader or healthcare professional believes that a GoodRxTab page contains inaccurate medical information, the concern can be reported through our Contact Us page.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Reading content written or medically reviewed by Dr. Vivek Bhise does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Published website information cannot account for every reader's medical history, allergies, current medicines, existing health conditions or individual treatment circumstances.

Readers requiring personalised medical advice, diagnosis, prescribing or treatment should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
