Our 6-Step Review Methodology
We adhere to a rigorous, transparent protocol before publishing any dosing calculator or pharmacy resource:
1. Topic Selection & Pharmacy Relevance
We prioritize calculators and drug safety guides that have the highest impact on daily pharmacy dispensing and patient safety.
2. Evidence Sourcing
We verify citations via PubMed, Medline, and WHO pharmacopeias, linking each clinical formula with official PMIDs.
3. Logical Variable Design
We design mathematical inputs and interpretation ranges mapped strictly to official ICD-10 coding.
4. Peer Pharmacist & Physician Review
A specialist reviewer audits the tool, verifying calculations against safe clinical pharmacy practice.
5. Bilingual Editing
We translate and refine copy in both Arabic and English for pharmacists and patients alike.
6. Guideline Monitoring
We monitor drug safety communications and update calculations whenever clinical guidelines evolve.
Trust Standards & Editorial Independence
- Rely exclusively on peer-reviewed scientific papers, pharmacopeias, and official drug authority guidelines.
- Explicit citation of PubMed IDs (PMID) or official health authority URLs in all calculation metrics.
- Strict neutrality: Zero funding or influence from pharmaceutical manufacturers.
- Clear disclaimers specifying the boundary between professional decision-support tools and patient-specific prescriptions.
- Strict exclusion of third-party promotional advertisements from all clinical scoring interfaces.
