Editorial Team

SunnyPharma publishes independent health education for people facing the cost of treatment. Every clinical article is written by a qualified medical writer and reviewed by a physician who works in the relevant field. This page explains who does that work and how we hold it to a standard patients can rely on.

Named, accountable. Each article carries the writer and the physician reviewer responsible for it — no anonymous medical claims.

Reviewed by clinicians who practice. Our reviewers treat and research the conditions they review, so guidance reflects current care, not generic summaries.

Sourced from primary evidence. Content is checked against prescribing information, treatment guidelines, regulators, and peer-reviewed research.

Independent. No manufacturer, advertiser, or pharmacy controls our conclusions or our medical review.

Why this work matters

People who are rationing medication or navigating an HIV or hepatitis C diagnosis are often handed information that is either too technical to act on or too vague to trust. SunnyPharma exists to close that gap: accurate enough for a clinician to stand behind, clear enough to use in a pharmacy line or an insurance call.

The reviewers and writers below contribute their expertise to make high-cost treatment more understandable and more reachable. That work serves the individual patient reading a single page, and it serves the wider effort to make credible medical information freely available to the people who need it most.

Medical review

Reviewers evaluate every clinical claim, medication-safety statement, and risk explanation against current evidence and guidelines before an article is published or updated.

Medical Editor

A professor of medicine at the University of Bonn and a leading clinician-researcher in HIV and hepatitis C co-infection, Prof. Rockstroh oversees SunnyPharma’s editorial medical standards.

How we work

Every clinical page moves through the same path, designed to keep unsupported claims out and keep important information current:

  1. Research against prescribing information, treatment guidelines, regulators, and peer-reviewed literature.
  2. Drafting into clear, structured patient education without losing clinical accuracy.
  3. Medical review by a physician in the relevant field for accuracy, safety, and guideline alignment.
  4. Publication with the writer, reviewer, and review date shown on the page.
  5. Updates when new evidence, approvals, guideline changes, or pricing materially change the article.

SunnyPharma content is educational and does not replace advice from a licensed healthcare professional. Patients should speak with their clinician before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.

Our editorial policy sets out in full how we create, review, update, and disclose health education — including our standards for independence, evidence quality, and corrections.
