Editorial policy

Every health page on getGLP1 is written from primary sources and reviewed by a named, licensed clinician before we ask search engines to index it.

Sources we use

  • Drug facts (ingredients, approved uses, doses, how a medication is taken) come from the Health Canada product monograph for that product. We don’t use other comparison sites as a source for drug facts.
  • Public coverage comes from the provincial formulary or plan document, cited by name and edition date.
  • Private coverage comes from the insurer’s published rules, or from the plan documents readers share with us.
  • Prices come from our own checks with pharmacies. See how we collect prices.
  • Provider facts come from walking through each provider’s sign-up flow, reading their published terms, and asking the provider directly. We note which method we used and when.

Each section that states a drug, coverage or regulatory fact carries a source note.

Clinical review

A licensed clinician (a pharmacist, physician or nurse practitioner) reviews every page that discusses medications, coverage or care. Their name, credential and licensing province appear under the headline, linked to a bio. We add a reviewer’s name only with their written agreement, and we update the “Last reviewed” date only after an actual review.

Until a page has been clinically reviewed, it shows “Clinical review pending” and we ask search engines not to index it.

How we write

We answer the question first, then explain the system behind it. We define terms like formulary and special authorization the first time they appear. We write “lowest price we found”, never “cheapest”, and we describe trade-offs instead of naming a winner.

Claims we never make

  • Comparisons of how well one drug works against another, or how much weight anyone will lose. Drug comparisons state monograph facts only.
  • Before-and-after images, testimonials or patient stories, unless they are real, consented and documented.
  • That a provider is “the best”, “top-rated” or “unbiased”.
  • Anything that would read as medical advice for a specific person.

Use of AI tools

We use AI writing tools to draft and check pages. A person checks every fact against the cited source, and a licensed clinician reviews every health page before it’s indexed. Numbers are never generated: every price, fee and date comes from our own data, with its check date.

The photographs on this site are AI-generated illustrations of everyday settings, such as a pharmacy aisle or a kitchen table. They don’t show real pharmacies, products, patients or staff, and no medication or packaging in them is a real product.

Independence

Commercial relationships never decide what we write, how we classify a provider or the order we list them in. See how we make money.
