Editorial Policy
Last updated September 2026.
Every page here answers one question, states the answer before the explanation, and says which week of the titration schedule it is talking about. If a page cannot carry Marisol Vega’s name, it does not publish.
Why every page names a week
Semaglutide is experienced as a timeline, not as a drug. Side effects spike after each step up and settle before the next one, so “is this normal?” is always really “is this normal at week nine, on 1.0 mg?”. A side-effect page that does not say which week it means is answering a question nobody asked, and it is the category’s main failure. That is why the schedule track sits at the top of the dosing and side-effect pages, and why it does not appear anywhere it would just be decoration.
What gets cited, and what does not get written
- Dosing figures come from published prescribing information. ⛔ Never from memory, and never from another website’s summary of it.
- ⛔ No incidence figure, percentage or total appears on this site unless the source states that number. A figure that is close enough is a wrong figure.
- Quotations are taken from the source document itself, and the citation names the document, not a search result that led to it.
- Where the honest answer is “this is not established,” the page says that rather than picking the more useful-sounding of two claims.
Compounded and brand-name products
Where a page touches on compounded semaglutide, it states what is known and stops. It does not imply that a compounded product is equivalent to a brand-name one, and it does not imply that it is inferior. Both would be claims this site cannot support.
How prices are read
- A price is read from the provider’s own page, and the date it was read is printed beside it. A price with no reading date does not publish.
- Every figure is printed with its billing cycle and the dose it buys. A semaglutide price with no dose attached does not mean anything, because the same seller often charges differently at 0.25 mg and at 2.4 mg.
- Where a figure is a “from” price, an introductory rate or a prepay total, it is labelled as one rather than presented as a standing monthly rate.
- A provider writing in to correct a price is treated as a lead to re-read the page, not as a price. We re-walk the record; we do not apply their number.
What a paid relationship changes
It changes one thing: a link is worth money to us, and that is marked next to the link every single time the link appears. It does not change a position, a verdict, or whether an unflattering fact gets printed. Providers who pay us nothing sit in the same tables, on the same markup, and are not written about more harshly to make the paid rows look better. The counts are on the disclosure page and they are computed from the provider data, not typed, so they cannot quietly go stale.
No commercial content on education pages
The dosing and side-effect pages carry no paid link and no call to action of any kind. Someone reading about diarrhea at 2am is not a sales opportunity, and treating them as one is what would make every other page here worthless.
Corrections
Marisol Vega owns the corrections log. When something here is wrong, the corrections page says what was wrong, when it was published, and when it was fixed — and the page that carried the error is fixed too. A correction does not correct the page it sits on.
Placeholder scaffold: the review cadence and the roster methodology need filling in once real provider research exists (docs/RESUME-HERE.md §3).
