Abstract
Many people take prescription medications and need information about the risks and benefits associated with taking them. Citizens are increasingly turning to the internet for health information and medication information is no exception. There are a variety of websites that offer Online Medication Information for Citizens (OMIC). This study compared six such websites using the Health Literacy Online (HLO) Checklist as a framework. Additionally, we conducted a detailed analysis of the individual content in each OMIC for three different medications. We identified several strengths and weaknesses of the different websites in terms of how they were designed and written and their appropriateness for users with limited eHealth literacy.
