Our commitment to transparency, factual data attribution, editorial independence, and swift error correction.
1. Two Distinct Categories of Information
To maintain absolute transparency, MediSaathi strictly distinguishes between two fundamental types of data published across our website:
A. Third-Party Commercial & Product Data
Prices, package descriptions, stock availability, and merchant URLs are aggregated from publicly accessible digital pharmacy listings (PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx). MediSaathi does not invent, modify, or endorse these figures. We display them as recorded on the check date and provide the mathematical comparison delta.
B. Original Educational Guides & Market Intelligence
Articles on our blog, salt explainers, and regulatory guides (e.g. NPPA price caps, Jan Aushadhi schemes, generic savings) are original works authored by the MediSaathi Editorial Team. We do not copy articles, reviews, or promotional blogs from pharmacy websites.
2. Authoritative Primary Sources
Our editorial content derives its factual backbone from verified statutory bodies and peer-reviewed literature in India:
CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation): For approved drug indications, safety advisories, and active ingredient classifications.
NPPA (National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority): For ceiling price orders (DPCO) and regulated Maximum Retail Price guidelines.
PMBJP (Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana): For public-sector generic medicine pricing and quality benchmarks.
Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC): For standards of drug purity and chemical naming conventions.
3. Commercial Independence & No Sponsored Rankings
MediSaathi maintains strict editorial independence from all commercial entities:
No online pharmacy, manufacturer, or pharmaceutical marketer can pay to alter comparison rankings or manipulate price deltas.
Rankings on our price comparison board are computed purely mathematically: lowest verified price at the top.
We do not accept paid reviews or sponsored pharmaceutical placements disguised as objective educational content.
4. Authorship & YMYL Transparency
In accordance with Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines for Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) content:
Every article clearly displays the publishing author (MediSaathi Editorial Team), publication date, and latest revision date.
We maintain a strict rule against fabricating credentials. A medical reviewer is displayed only when a verified, contracted clinician has conducted a formal clinical review of that specific document.
Educational articles are intended to foster health literacy and price awareness, never to substitute professional medical diagnosis or personalized treatment.
5. Corrections & Inaccuracy Reporting
Pharmaceutical details and market prices fluctuate rapidly. If you spot a factual error in an educational guide, an un-normalized pack size, or an outdated pharmacy quote:
Email our editorial desk at medisaathi@gmail.com with the subject line "Editorial Correction".
Include the URL of the affected page and the specific discrepancy.
Our team reviews all reported inaccuracies within 48 business hours and deploys corrections with an updated revision date.
