About pharmaranks
pharmaranks is an independent, source-backed ratings and directory authority for pharmaceutical and wellness companies and the products they make. We evaluate — we do not sell, dispense, or manufacture anything.
What we do
We rate drugs, OTC medicines, supplements, and the companies behind them on a single, transparent 0–100 scale, so people can compare options using the same standard. Every page is built from official, verifiable data — not opinion or marketing copy.
How we rate
Scores are currently driven by FDA regulatory (recall-safety) data, with the engine designed to blend additional weighted sources (marketplace signals, moderated user reviews) as they come online. When a product doesn't yet have enough data, we show "Not yet rated" rather than invent a score. The full method — including how a low-sample score is shrunk toward a neutral baseline — is on our How we rate page.
Where our data comes from
- openFDA — Drugs@FDA, drug labels, and the enforcement (recall) database
- NIH DailyMed — official FDA structured product labels
- RxClass & RxNorm — drug classes and may-treat indications
- CMS NADAC — typical cash acquisition prices
Clinical content (overviews, side effects, warnings) is surfaced verbatim from FDA labels with attribution. We do not paraphrase medical text, because paraphrasing risks introducing errors.
Our commitment to honesty
Ratings are independent and are notinfluenced by advertising, sponsorship, or affiliate relationships. We do not publish fabricated reviews or invent medical reviewers. Where a company sponsors a placement, it is clearly labeled "Sponsored." The information here is general reference and is not medical advice — always consult a licensed professional.
How we make money
pharmaranks is free to use. We earn through affiliate/referral links, clearly-labeled sponsored placements, and connecting interested visitors with partners (such as telehealth providers and pharmacies). This revenue keeps the data free and never affects our scores or rankings — see our advertising & affiliate disclosure.
