We offer facts and just the facts. You won't find our opinoin on health topics here since we haven't got a formal education in the medical field, but you may be sure you read information based on proven facts. For our education and professional activities please read below.

We obtain information only form the most authoritative and reputable sources including government, educational and industrial. We use various physicians-trusted resources to create the content -- reference handbooks, medical journals, FDA drug label information, including:

• Physicians’ Desk Reference and its Supplements and Companion Guides.
• DailyMed - the official provider of FDA drug label information (package inserts).
• PubMed - service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine that comprises over 24 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals for biomedical articles back to 1948.
• MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine.
• American Academy of Family Physicians - website of the medical specialty society which represents more than 93,700 family physicians and medical students.
• MedScape - a free resource for Physicians, featuring Free CME (Continuing Medical Education), medical journal articles, MEDLINE, medical news, major conference coverage, and comprehensive drug information.

Again, to ensure that content is accurate, reliable, and unbiased, all articles include "References" section, where the studies and sources of information are listed. So if you are skeptical about some facts, you can check the references and directly visit original source of data.

About the Author and Editor

We are a small team of author and editor who got Ph.D in Mathematics in 1998. Clearly, we are not medical or health care professionals. Our professional activity has been connected with data analysis - that is massive volumes of data - in various fields including, but not limited to, health insurance, financial, population. Our team has deep knowledge and understanding of data analysis and we are trained to get just the facts from row data on various topics.

Our interest in health field has started in 2001 to better understand positive and negative effects of medications we were prescribed at that time. Since then we have been reading professional literature, comparative studies and reports on various medications, including what we and our family members were taking.

In the beginning of 2007 we decided to share with other people what we have learned and this is how eMedExpert.com was started. And we keep adding information about medications, sometimes at requests from our readers.
