1 Lawyer Answer

A: If I understand your plan, you would publish on the internet on a website information about medical terms, drug companies, descriptions of various drugs (without indicating to what medical condition they might apply), etc. You would make an income by selling ads, presumably to medical companies and personnel.

Initially I have two problems. The first is based on just what information you could provide to your visitors that an advertiser would find attractive. The second is the problem of talking about products that are provided by your advertiser without the appearance of you being influenced by your advertiser to talk favorably about their products.

Only you can answer that question.
