Our Editorial Standards
At FindUrMeds, we are committed to providing patients with accurate, reliable information about medication availability, pricing, and alternatives. This page outlines how we create, verify, and maintain the content on our site.
Our Mission
FindUrMeds exists to help patients find their prescription medications in stock at nearby pharmacies. We provide accurate, up-to-date information about medication availability, pricing, and alternatives so patients can make informed decisions about where to fill their prescriptions. Our service contacts pharmacies on behalf of patients and delivers results within 24-48 hours.
Content Creation Process
Our educational and informational articles are written using AI (Claude by Anthropic) and reviewed for medical accuracy by our team. Every piece of content goes through the following process:
- Research — We gather information from authoritative medical and pharmaceutical sources.
- Drafting — Articles are drafted using AI with specific prompts grounded in verified data.
- Fact-checking — All medical facts are verified against FDA-approved drug labels, the ASHP Drug Shortage Database, and manufacturer data sheets.
- Review — Content is reviewed for clarity, accuracy, and completeness before publication.
Our Data Sources
We rely on the following sources to ensure the accuracy of our content and services:
- FDA Drug Shortage Database — Official shortage reports and status updates from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists) — Comprehensive drug shortage data and clinical resources.
- DEA Production Quota Data — Manufacturer production quotas for controlled substances, published by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
- GoodRx Pricing Data — Real-time medication pricing and coupon information.
- Our Own Network — Data from 15,000+ pharmacy searches conducted through the FindUrMeds platform.
Findability Score Methodology
Our proprietary Findability Score rates each medication on a scale of 1-100 based on how easy it is to locate at pharmacies. The score is calculated using the following factors:
- Current FDA and ASHP shortage status
- DEA production quotas and manufacturer supply levels
- Pharmacy chain stocking patterns and regional availability
- Our own search success data from thousands of pharmacy contacts
A higher score means the medication is generally easier to find in stock. Scores are updated regularly to reflect changing supply conditions.
Update Policy
- Hub pages (medication overviews) are reviewed quarterly.
- Shortage articles are updated monthly to reflect current supply conditions.
- Pricing data is refreshed weekly from our data sources.
