Linking to MEDLINEplus

The National Library of Medicine invites you to link from your web site to MEDLINEplus at http://medlineplus.gov/.

MEDLINEplus will direct you to information to help answer health questions. MEDLINEplus brings together, by health topic, authoritative information from NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), other government, non-profit and other health-related organizations. Preformulated MEDLINE searches are included in MEDLINEplus and give easy access to the medical research literature. It also provides you with a database of full-text drug information and an illustrated medical encyclopedia.

You are welcome to link to MEDLINEplus or pages from it, with the exception of the Medical Encyclopedia (any page with the URL beginning with http://medlineplus.adam.com), providing that you indicate that the page is from MEDLINEplus and do not place any pages in a frame.

The images and text shown below on this page should assist you in coding your html links to us. Choose a plain text or graphic link and paste the block of HTML code under it right into your page. Please observe the form of the MEDLINEplus name, which should always begin with "MEDLINE" in capital letters and "plus" in lower-case italic letters.
