Health Information Sites: How to Tell Which Ones You Can Trust

Not every website that talks about medicine wants to help you. Some push products, some repeat old facts, and others hide their sources. This tag page groups practical articles from MedExpressRx so you can find clear guides on medications, travel health, inhaler options, and more. Below are simple checks and tips to help you read smarter and act safer.

How to spot trustworthy health sites

Check the author and credentials. If an article about a drug doesn’t list a medical author or editor, treat the info with caution. Look for a medical degree, pharmacy background, or editor named on the page.

Find the date and updates. Medicine changes fast. Prefer pages that show a recent update or revision date—especially for dosing, interactions, and safety details.

Follow the sources. Good articles link to studies, official guidelines, or product leaflets. If claims come without references, don’t rely on them for decisions.

Watch for commercial bias. Clear labeling of sponsored content or paid partnerships is a good sign. If a site keeps pushing a single product without balanced pros and cons, question the motive.

Check contact and privacy info. Legit sites list an About page, contact email, and privacy policy. Those pages help you judge transparency and data safety.

Using MedExpressRx articles wisely

Start with a focused question. For example: “What are safe alternatives to Trelegy?” or “How to pack an inhaler for air travel?” Search the tag page for those topics and read the most recent article first.

Cross-check key facts. If an article says a drug interacts with another medication or gives a specific dose, verify that with the official drug label, your pharmacist, or a guideline from a national health agency.

Use practical tips from the site, not as a replacement for professional advice. Articles on MedExpressRx cover things like safer online pharmacies, inhaler price caps, and oxygen use at altitude—use them to prepare questions for your clinician.

Save or print critical pages. Travel guides (e.g., inhaler packing, replacing rescue meds abroad) and drug dosing notes are useful to keep on hand. Screenshot proof of prescriptions or prescription numbers if traveling internationally.

If you spot a claim that sounds wrong, ask. Reach out via the contact page or bring the claim to your pharmacist or doctor. Good health decisions come from checking a few reliable sources, not one quick web search.

Use this tag page as a starting map: medication guides, safety tips, alternatives, and travel health articles are grouped here to help you find practical, up-to-date info fast. Read critically, check sources, and talk to a professional when a medical decision matters.
