Very promotional. Site lacks rigor and seems to actively mislead people, this page gives a false impression of authority. Criticisms here may be valid. Someone who knows what this page should be tagged with please tag it.

"EHealthMe’s business model is to make an automated program that runs through every single drug and every possible side effect, scrapes the FDA database for examples, then auto publishes an ad-filled web page titled “COULD $DRUG CAUSE $SIDE_EFFECT?”. It populates the page by spewing random FDA data all over it, concludes “$SIDE_EFFECT is found among people who take $DRUG”, and offers a link to a support group for $DRUG patients suffering from $SIDE_EFFECT. Needless to say, the support group is an automatically-generated forum with no posts in it." 92.8.48.90 (talk) 05:11, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Right, the site looks to me entirely bogus, with template-generated "papers" based on made-up data. Here's a good one:1. If you take Paracetamol and have Death, find out what symptoms you could have in 1 year or longer. You are not alone! oin a support group for people who take Paracetamol and have Death.

In fact, I'd like to draw Doc James's attention to this article. He'll know how to deal with it. No way should Wikipedia be presenting EHealthMe as a creditable site. Maproom (talk) 17:42, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a fairly standard paid-for article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
