Editorial and medical review policy

Health content is currently written by the VTRT editorial team. When a licensed clinician reviews a page, their name and license type will appear on it.

Reviewers check clinical accuracy. They are not paid per page, and they do not review content about a service they sell.

A page goes through the same steps every time, and it isn't published until each one is done.

1. Topic. We choose topics from the questions patients ask us and the questions people search for.
2. Research. The writer reads the primary sources at the time of writing and records each claim with its source.
3. Draft. The writer states what the evidence shows, how strong it is, and what it doesn't show.
4. Content rules check. The draft is checked against our advertising and compliance rules, for example on medication claims, prices, state rules and privacy.
5. Medical review, once our clinical reviewers are named: a licensed clinician checks every clinical statement against its source and asks for changes.
6. Sign-off. The reviewer approves the final text, and the page shows the review date.

Writers may use software tools, including AI tools, for research and drafting. A person checks every page against its sources, and a licensed clinician reviews it before it's published.

Clinical statements come from primary sources, cited on the page with a link and the date we read them. We use:

• FDA-approved prescribing information (drug labels) from DailyMed or FDA.
• Clinical practice guidelines and statements from professional societies, such as the Endocrine Society, the American Urological Association, The Menopause Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Obesity Medicine Association.
• Randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews or meta-analyses indexed in PubMed.
• Government sources, such as FDA, CDC, the Federal Register and state medical and pharmacy boards.

We don't use a press release, a forum post or another clinic's website as the only source for a clinical claim. When a figure from a trial appears, it is quoted with the population, dose and length of the study, and never presented as what a reader can expect.

We say how strong the evidence is. Words such as "a large trial found", "guidelines recommend" and "the evidence is limited" tell you how much weight a statement carries. Risks are given the same space as benefits. We don't promise results or timelines. We call a medication FDA-approved only when it is, and we don't present one medication as the same as another.

Each page is reviewed at least once a year, and sooner when something it relies on changes, such as:

• an FDA label update, safety communication or approval;
• a new or revised clinical guideline;
• a federal or state rule change, for example the federal telemedicine rules for controlled substances;
• a correction from a reader or a clinician.

The "last reviewed" date changes only after a clinician has reviewed the page again. Small edits that don't change clinical content, such as fixing a broken link, don't change that date.

If you find an error, email editorial@vitalitytestosteronereplacementtherapy.com with the page address and what you think is wrong. A clinician reviews each report. If a clinical statement was wrong, we fix it and note the correction and its date at the end of the page.

This website is an advertisement for medical services and is not medical advice. Clinical pages are not sponsored, and we don't accept payment from drug makers for content. Treatment decisions are made only by your licensed provider after an evaluation. The who provides care page explains how the medical practices and the company that runs this website work together.

This website does not show patient reviews or testimonials. If we add them in the future, they will be real, from patients who agreed to share them, and labeled with any compensation, as federal and state rules require. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

Content on this website is general health information. It does not replace a visit with a licensed clinician who knows your history. If you have a medical emergency, call 911.
