Google Ads

Are organizations able to have a specific web page for their pharmaceutical product? Specifically a prescription injection product. If so, can Google Ads or search engine optimization be used to promote this website.

Hello @jriordan
Yes, pharmaceutical product can have a webpage. Section C.01.44 of the Food and Drugs Act Regulations restricts the advertisement of a Schedule F drug (prescription drugs), to the general public to name, price, and quantity. If they are prescription and go beyond the limitations of the consumer regulations (name, price, quantity), the content should appear behind a gate to limit to the acceptable audiences (patient information or HCP advertising).
Google Ads or search engine optimization (SEO) generally occurs in the ungated public space and means that the totality of the content (search terms, descriptor, gate landing page and URL) cannot exceed the consumer regulations.
