Prescription **** services
Google restricts the promotion of services related to the online prescribing, dispensation, and sale of prescription *****. Businesses subject to this policy include but are not limited to online pharmacies and telemedicine providers.
We determine whether an advertiser is promoting such services based on a number of factors, such as the content of your ads, site, or app, as well as the products or services that you offer. For user safety and other reasons, we err on the side of caution in applying this policy, especially for landing pages that link or refer to content that in any way appears to be or to facilitate the online prescription, dispensation, or sale of medicines.
