Editorial policy

Sources

We use primary sources only: professional society guidance (AAP), children’s hospital dosing tables, government agencies (CDC, FDA), and FDA-approved labels. Each dose value records its source and the date we checked it.

Writing

Pages are written for parents in plain language. Dose tables are shown as text, not images, so they can be read aloud, printed and translated.

Checking

Before any page goes live, every dose is compared with its source by a script that downloads the source directly. How we check doses.

Corrections

If a source changes or someone reports an error, we fix the page, record the change, and update the date the doses were checked.

Independence

We don’t accept payment from drug makers, and brand names are used only so parents can match the product on their box.
