Ad policy · Google
Can you advertise healthcare and medicines on Google AI?
Yes, with conditions. Online pharmacies and telemedicine need an application to Google and are allowed only in some locations. Pharmaceutical manufacturers need certification, US health insurance needs certification, and unauthorised pharmacies and prescription opioids aren’t allowed.
“Google restricts the promotion of services related to the online prescribing, dispensing, and sale of prescription drugs. Businesses subject to this policy include but aren't limited to online pharmacies and telemedicine providers.”[1]Healthcare and medicines - Advertising Policies Help · Google Ads policy · read 10 Nov 2026
Healthcare and medicines on other AI channels
The same category is treated differently on each channel. A rule on one channel doesn’t apply to the others.
| Channel | Treatment | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Allowed with conditions | US only, approved advertisers, listed areas.[2] |
| Google AI (this page) | Allowed with conditions | Application or certification, by location.[1] |
| Gravity | Allowed with conditions | Pharmaceuticals need authorization.[3] |
“No category rule” means the provider has no rule for this category; its general policies still apply.
How Admux screens it
Admux screens each campaign against the rules of every channel you select, before anything is submitted. Each channel is checked on its own, so a rule on one channel never blocks the others.
For Google AI, Admux asks for licences or certifications for the product or service and each market, and support for any health claim before submitting. Final approval is always Google’s: Admux can’t grant permission a channel doesn’t offer.
