Editorial policy
By Weight Care Edit, Publisher · Updated October 2026
Each Weight Care Edit page is held to the rules below. Spot one that falls short? Say so on the contact page and we'll put it right.
Where facts come from
| Kind of fact | Source we use |
|---|---|
| What a drug is, its approved uses, forms and doses | The FDA-approved label on DailyMed |
| What a study found | The published paper, cited by its PubMed record |
| Approval, compounding and shortage status | The FDA, the Federal Register and FDA dockets, with the date of the notice |
| What a provider charges, sells and requires | The provider's own public website |
| Brand self-pay prices | The manufacturer's own self-pay pages |
A fact we can't trace to one of these doesn't go on the page.
Provider reviews
Reviews describe the company from its own pages: plans and prices, fees, who prescribes, which pharmacy dispenses, labs, states served and how to cancel. Reviews don't cite medical studies; the drug guides do that. The one outside link a review may carry is to an FDA document that backs a fact the review states, such as a warning letter addressed to that provider.
A provider with problems still gets a full review. The problem is stated plainly, in the provider's own words where possible, along with what to ask before you pay.
Prices
- The price is what any new visitor sees on the provider's own site, not a promotional landing page.
- Every price is tied to a dose and a billing term. "$249 a month" always says which dose and which plan.
- Where we add fees or convert four-week billing into a monthly figure, the page says the math is ours.
- Price records show when the source was read. Always confirm current terms with the provider before paying.
Doses and safety
A dose on this site always comes with its source: the drug's FDA label, a published trial, or the starting point most prescribers use. We never give instructions for preparing, measuring or injecting a medication yourself.
Compounds that US pharmacies can't legally compound, retatrutide and BPC-157 among them, get pages that explain their status and the research. Those pages list no sellers, no prices and no buttons.
Off-label uses, including metformin and rapamycin for longevity, are labeled off-label in the first paragraph that discusses them. When a study's authors have a financial tie to a company in the space, the page says so where the study is cited.
Dates
Each page shows one date, in the byline under the headline, as month and year. That date changes only when someone has re-read the sources and updated the content. A typo fix doesn't move it.
Who writes and who doesn't
Every page carries the name of the person responsible for it, Weight Care Edit or Weight Care Edit. Partners never see a review or a score before it's published, never approve copy, and can't buy a position. A provider can send a correction with a link to its own public page, and it's handled the same way as a reader's.
Partner wording
Partners are labeled "Partner." Lineups are sorted by Care & cost score, with a partner first only in an exact tie, so their headings simply name the drug and say the providers are scored. No lineup crowns a winner, and the labeled Partner box above a list never carries a rank.
Fixing mistakes
Errors of fact are corrected as soon as they're confirmed and listed on the corrections log with the page and the month.
