Editorial policy

How we review.

Every review on The Script Digest follows the same process. We publish it here so readers can hold us to it.

Brand selection

We select brands to review based on category relevance and consumer interest, not commercial relationship. We review brands we have affiliate relationships with and brands we do not. We do not accept payment for positive coverage.

When we have an affiliate relationship with a brand we review, we disclose it above the fold of that review and on our advertising disclosure page.

Review criteria

We evaluate every brand against the same criteria:

  1. 01State licensure coverage
  2. 02Pricing transparency
  3. 03Pharmacy accreditation
  4. 04Clinician review process (real prescriber vs algorithm)
  5. 05Formulation and clinical evidence
  6. 06Service inclusions and cancellation terms
Clinical review

All editorial reviews are examined by a licensed clinician before publication. For specialized categories (women's hormonal health), we engage category-appropriate specialists.

Sourcing

Every factual claim in our reviews is cited. Sources include FDA labels, pharmacy licensure registries, the brand's own public disclosures (Trustpilot ratings, pricing pages, terms of service), peer-reviewed pharmacokinetic literature, and publicly reported US pharmacy retail pricing.

Update cadence

Reviews are updated every 3 months at minimum, or immediately when category-material changes occur (FDA warning letter, LegitScript status change, pricing shift, service discontinuation). The Last updated date at the top of every review reflects the most recent substantive revision.

Corrections

If a reader, brand, or clinician identifies a factual error in our published content, we correct it promptly and note the correction on the page. Contact hello@thescriptdigest.com.

Independence

Our editorial conclusions are independent of our commercial relationships. Brands we have affiliate arrangements with do not see our editorial before publication, do not have approval rights, and cannot remove or modify our reviews once published. Our commissions fund the editorial; they do not shape it.
