ABOUT MEDSHADOW

Medications have many benefits, but it’s essential to know how to balance these against their potential side effects. MedShadow is a nonprofit foundation that focuses on the safest ways to take over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) medications. Our name derives from the fact that side effects can sometimes be difficult to recognize, which is why we work to illuminate and explain medication reactions that may be minimized or obscured.

We also help people factor in integrative health and medicine options and provide information about lifestyle changes to optimize one’s health. Whatever decision a person makes, our goal is to be supportive.

At MedShadow, our mission is to provide independent, evidence-and science-based information. Our service and investigative journalism enables people to make informed decisions and we strive to stimulate public conversation aimed at reforming the drug manufacturing processes to ensure that we are all better protected.

We do not receive any financial support from the pharmaceutical or supplement industries and we require that all our staff, writers, advisors and other partners also be free from any remunerative relationships with such companies.
