Advertise on Refill Scout

Refill Scout mirrors the FDA drug shortage database for people trying to get a prescription filled. If you want to reach them, tell us what you have in mind. There is no rate card; we scope each program with you directly.

Who reads it

People arrive asking whether their medication is in shortage and which strengths are affected. Most already hold a prescription and are working out where and how to fill it. ADHD stimulants draw the most searches, and the rest of the FDA list follows, from injectables to antibiotics.

They come for a straight answer from the federal record, so anything we run next to it has to be useful to someone in that position and clearly marked as paid.

What we can talk about

Sponsorship

A labelled sponsor message on the site’s general pages for a set period.

Something else

If your idea does not fit a sponsor message, describe it. We will tell you whether we can do it.

Pricing

Quoted per program, once we know what you want to run, where, and for how long.

Standards we hold every advertiser to

The record is not for sale

Drug pages, shortage status and the order anything is listed in are never sponsored, and no advertiser can change them.

No ads in alert email

Watch and alert emails carry no advertising of any kind.

No reader data

We never share which medication anyone reads about or watches. There are no advertising pixels or third-party trackers on this site.

Every paid unit is labelled

Anything paid for says so on the unit itself.

We review every advertiser

We look at every advertiser and every ad before anything runs, and we can decline either.
