How DiscoverMedica works

A journal for your health decisions.

Health decisions rarely happen in one place. You may be comparing tests, treatments, supplements and providers across many websites, while trying to understand what is approved, what requires a prescription and what is still experimental. My Journal brings those options into one organized list, with regulatory status and evidence shown before you decide what to discuss with a clinician.

How My Journal works, how we label every compound’s status and evidence, and what we never do.

Three steps

Build, organise, then decide.

1

Build

Add anything from the catalog. Items arrive with their regulatory status, evidence rating, risks and questions for your clinician.

2

Organise

Sort items into on the plan, considering, and just researching. Add notes, and compare providers for anything you can lawfully get.

Share & decide

Share a link or print it for an appointment. When you are ready, click through to a licensed provider. A clinician makes the medical call.

The ADA advises continuing obesity medication after goals are reached, because stopping often brings weight back and cardiometabolic risks can return.

Status first

See the status before anything else.

Every item wears one of four tags, and the tag states what it is. Research-only compounds carry a hatched tag that reads without colour.

The American Academy of Dermatology says finasteride slows further hair loss in about 80% to 90% of men who take it, and that you have to keep taking it to keep the results.

Side by side

Compare providers side by side.

Where a compound is offered by several licensed providers, its page lists every one. Semaglutide is listed by 24 providers.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine's 2017 insomnia guideline suggests clinicians not use melatonin to treat trouble falling or staying asleep in chronic insomnia (a weak recommendation).

Share or print

Share one link, or print it.

A share link carries your list after the #, which browsers never send to a server. The print view lays everything out on one page for your appointment, questions included.

The Endocrine Society's 2018 guideline recommends against routinely screening men without symptoms and against routinely treating all men over 65 with low levels; for older men, it advises deciding case by case.

Labels and sources

How we label every compound.

Two ratings, shown everywhere a compound appears.

How you can get it

FDA-approved · Prescription

Approved by the FDA. A licensed clinician has to decide it is right for you and prescribe it.

Compounded · Prescription

Made by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual prescription. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, so quality depends on the pharmacy.

Over the counter

Sold without a prescription. Supplements are not reviewed by the FDA before sale, so third-party testing matters.

Research only · Not for human use

Not approved for human use in the US. We list it so you can learn what it is, but we do not link to anyone selling it.

How strong the human evidence is

Strong human evidence

Large randomised trials in people.

Moderate human evidence

Several human trials, with some limits.

Emerging evidence

Small or early human studies only.

Animal & lab studies only

No meaningful human trials yet.

Ratings describe the evidence for the uses people commonly look a compound up for. They are not a recommendation, and every rating links to its sources.

Where our facts come from

FDA documents, drug labels, clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed trials: 559 sources, each linked from the page that uses it, and 218 guideline and regulator points attributed to the body that made them. The catalogue was last checked on October 7, 2026. DiscoverMedica does not employ clinicians, so no page claims a clinician reviewed it.

Guardrails

What we never do.

doses published, on any page, in any file

No dosing, ever.

We don’t publish doses, protocols or cycles. That belongs to your clinician.

No grey market.

Research-only compounds are explained, never linked to a seller.

Your list stays yours.

It lives in your browser, and share links keep the list out of our server logs.

No promised outcomes.

No guaranteed prescriptions, no before-and-afters, no cure claims.

You’re one list away.

It takes about a minute, and it stays in your browser.
