MedShadow Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on the safe use of over-the-counter and prescription medications, balancing benefits with potential side effects. It seeks to illuminate and explain medication reactions that may be minimized or obscured and also highlights integrative health options and lifestyle changes to support well-being. Based in New York City, the foundation operates with a modest team and emphasizes independent, evidence-based information about medicines and their effects. Its work consists of independent, evidence-based information and investigative journalism aimed at helping people make informed health choices and stimulating conversation about drug manufacturing reform. MedShadow operates without financial support from the pharmaceutical or supplement industries and requires that staff and partners have no remunerative ties to those sectors; in 2026, its Investigating Generics series was named a finalist at the 18th Annual Shorty Awards.
