Our Editorial Principles

1. Our Mission

The mission of The Savvy Patient Guide by LowerMyRx is to provide clear, accessible, and evidence-based information to help our readers make informed decisions about their health and save money on their medications. We are committed to being a trustworthy resource for patients and caregivers navigating the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system.

2. Our Editorial Principles

Our content is guided by a commitment to the following core principles:

• Trustworthiness & Accuracy: Our highest priority is providing accurate, well-researched, and up-to-date information. We rely on primary sources, including peer-reviewed medical journals, government health agencies (like the FDA, CDC, and NIH), and academic institutions. All clinical claims are backed by scientific evidence.
• Patient-Focused & Empathetic: We approach every topic with empathy, recognizing the challenges patients face. Our goal is to empower our readers with knowledge in a supportive and non-judgmental tone.
• Accessibility & Clarity: Healthcare can be confusing. We are dedicated to translating complex medical topics into simple, easy-to-understand language so that everyone, regardless of their background, can understand their health options.
• Inclusivity: We are committed to creating content that is inclusive and respectful of all individuals, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ability.

3. Our Content Creation & Medical Review Process

To ensure our content meets the highest standards of accuracy and integrity, we adhere to a strict multi-step process:

1. Creation: Articles are written by our team of knowledgeable health writers and researchers who are skilled at sourcing information from reliable outlets and communicating it clearly.
2. Medical Review: Before publication, every article containing medical or clinical information (including details about specific conditions or medications) is thoroughly reviewed by licensed pharmacists, physicians, psychiatrists, or Licensed psychologists with a doctoral degree. Our medical reviewers verify that the content is accurate, comprehensive, and reflects the current standard of care.
3. Updates: The healthcare landscape is constantly changing. We periodically review our existing content library to ensure that it remains current and accurate. An article’s “last updated” date reflects when it was most recently verified or updated.

The name and credentials of the professional who medically reviewed an article are displayed, providing full transparency.

4. Our Commitment to Editorial Independence

LowerMyRx maintains a strict separation between its editorial content and its business operations.

The Savvy Patient Guide is our informational resource, and its content is produced independently. The LowerMyRx prescription discount card is the service we offer. While we may include mentions of how our service can help readers save money, these are presented separately from the unbiased health information.

• Our medical experts are not compensated based on the promotion of the LowerMyRx service. Their sole responsibility is to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information presented.
• The conclusions and recommendations within our articles are based solely on evidence-based research and the clinical judgment of our expert reviewers. They are not influenced by advertisers, partners, or our own business interests.
• We are committed to providing a balanced view of all available treatment and savings options where applicable.

5. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Our primary mission is to serve our readers. While LowerMyRx is a for-profit business, we believe in transparency.

• Any content that is promotional in nature will be clearly labeled as “Advertisement,” “Sponsored,” or “Promotion” to distinguish it from independent editorial content.
• Our editorial team makes the final decision on where and how such promotional content is displayed.

6. Corrections Policy

We are committed to accuracy. If we discover a factual error in our content, we will promptly correct it and update the article. We encourage our readers to bring any potential errors to our attention.

7. Use of Technology & AI

Our editorial team may use various technologies, including AI tools, to assist in research, brainstorming, and drafting. However, every article is fact-checked, reviewed, produced, and edited by our human team members. All clinical content is medically reviewed by a licensed healthcare professional to ensure its accuracy and appropriateness before publication.
