Advertising helps keep MedInfoBase free to use. This policy explains how advertising works on the site and how we keep it separate from our independent information.
Separation from editorial content
- Advertising never decides what we publish, how medicines are described, how prices are shown, or how search results and comparisons are ordered.
- Advertisers and sponsors cannot edit, review or approve our editorial content or database records.
- Paying for advertising does not change how we handle corrections.
How advertising is labelled
Advertisements are clearly marked as Advertisement. Paid listings are marked as Featured or Sponsored. We do not publish advertising that looks like our own editorial content.
Types of advertising
- Display advertising sold directly by MedInfoBase, shown in fixed banner and side positions.
- Featured listings for companies and doctors in our directories.
- Third-party advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense (see below).
What we do not accept
- advertising of prescription-only medicines by brand to the public;
- unregistered medicines or products, or products that make medical claims they are not allowed to make;
- miracle cures, unproven treatments or misleading health claims;
- tobacco, gambling, adult content, weapons or anything illegal in Pakistan;
- advertising that copies our design or suggests approval by DRAP or any government body.
Health-related advertising must follow the laws of Pakistan and DRAP rules. We may refuse or remove any advertisement at our discretion.
Where advertising does not appear
We do not place advertising inside procurement specification documents, tender documents, verification tools or account pages. Specification and tender documents stay brand-neutral and ad-free.
Third-party advertising and Google AdSense
Some advertisements on MedInfoBase may be served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These ads are selected automatically by the network, not chosen by us one by one. We use the controls these networks provide to block categories that conflict with this policy where we can.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. You can find out more, and how to opt out of personalised advertising, in our Privacy Policy.
Report an advertisement
If you see an advertisement that seems misleading, unsafe or against this policy, please tell us through our contact page or email info@medinfobase.com. Include the page address and a description or screenshot of the ad.
