Medical review policy

Effective Aug 18, 2026

KeepAlong publishes content about prescription medications, so this page states plainly what we allow ourselves to publish, what we refuse to publish, and where our numbers come from. It is a commitment, not marketing — and it starts from who we are: a team without a medical license, which is precisely why the boundaries below exist.

Our content levels

Every page on this site is classified before publication.

Standard covers calculations, date planning, record-keeping practice, and reference material taken directly from FDA prescribing information — for example, titration date math or storage windows. These pages are published with a visible disclaimer directly under the heading, and they never make dosing decisions: they do date arithmetic and restate what a label says.

Extended and clinical would cover how conditions and treatment progress over time, symptoms, and anything a reader could mistake for care guidance. We do not publish content at these levels today, and the reason is simple: no one on the KeepAlong team holds a medical license. Until a named, licensed reviewer — such as a registered dietitian or physician — joins and signs pages with their real name and credentials, those pages will not exist on this site. We would rather have a gap than an unreviewed page.

What we never publish

Some questions are prescribing decisions regardless of review level, and we keep them off this site permanently: what to do about a missed or doubled dose, when to increase a dose, how medications interact, whether one drug is better than another for you, and how to manage side effects. If a page here ever appears to answer one of these, that is a defect — the answer belongs to your prescriber.

Where our data comes from

Numbers on this site come from primary sources: FDA prescribing information for each medication, and peer-reviewed publications — such as trial results published in the New England Journal of Medicine — for outcome data. Each page that cites a label or a study states the date we last checked the source, so you can judge how fresh the information is and verify it yourself.

Calculator methodology

Every calculator and planner on this site shows its method on the page itself — the formula or rule it applies and the source it applies it from — rather than hiding the math behind a result. The weight loss calculator is a worked example of this: it states which trial data it maps onto your inputs. All our tools run in your browser, so what you see on the page is the entire computation — the privacy policy covers what that means for your data, and the terms of use cover the rest.

Updates to this policy

When our review capacity changes — for instance, when a licensed reviewer joins — this page will be updated with a new effective date, and reviewed pages will carry the reviewer's visible byline.
