MedlinePlus: FAQ - Framing

Skip navigation

I'd like to link to MedlinePlus, but only if I can frame it. Why don't you allow this?

Answer:

MedlinePlus contains licensed content from authoritative sources such as the United States Pharmacopeia, the adam.com encyclopedia, the Patient Education Institute, and news services such as Reuters Health. Our license agreements do not permit framing of their content from our site. For more information, please see our copyright FAQ page.

In addition, we have experienced "malicious" framing and for safety and privacy of our users we have blocked all framing.
We encourage you to open MedlinePlus in a new window. Users have found that approach easy to navigate, and they remain on your site. Please see our linking to MedlinePlus page for further information.
