External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Drugs.com. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for //drugs.com/page.cfm?s=430,444,100000350

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Reliability of drugs.com? Is the website for profit?

Personally I find the information useful and reliable.

But in some Wikipedia talk pages, for example http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Donepezil people claim the website is not reliable.

Can you give examples of wrong or unreliable information at drugs.com? And do they correct if one sends corrections?

Do drug companies advertise at drugs.com? Which drugs and which companies recently? If yes, that might lower reliability.

The place to discuss reliability of sources about medicine is at WT:MED. This Talk page is for discussing this Wikipedia article. Not whether the subject of this article is useful as a reference elsewhere in WP. Jytdog (talk) 22:26, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Those host stuff from a bunch of groups, some better than others. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What a horrible website

Basically it seems involved in click bait garbage using Google. They'll list a high interaction for drugs combinations, for instance, in a Google search at the top as, I presume, a sponsored search result, then you click on it and further down will say No Interactions Found followed by a long list of Other Interactions with this Medication Searched or other such garbage. -Reticuli 2600:2B00:7628:D700:4132:F954:E301:8559 (talk) 12:31, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
