What’s changing about Google Ads Starting June 2021, Google’s updating their policy regarding advertising for healthcare and medicines. Already, pharmaceutical companies are only allowed to advertise prescription drugs in Canada, New Zealand, and the US, and they’re not allowed to advertise opioid prescription painkillers in any countries.
