Consumer perceptions of the information content contained on prescription drug websites was of interest in this investigation. Twenty branded prescription drugs were selected because they were evaluated as being poor consumer choices for safety reasons or because better alternatives existed. Study participants visited each of 20 websites for the selected drugs, and then they answered a series of questions for each website, in order to evaluate each website's information content. Participants, without knowing the selected prescription drugs were selected because they were problematic, reported that the drug company information was complete, fully presenting benefit and risk information, without being false or misleading in any respect. Pricing information was generally not provided by drug companies. Alternative medicines, treatments, and behavioral approaches for dealing with an illness or health condition were generally not part of the information provided by drug companies. Public policy implications are also discussed.
