25 drug brands have 19,456 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 3,824 of those were running when we read it on October 2, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Drug advertising is written by regulators as much as by marketers, so the ads sell a life the condition was getting in the way of and then spend half their length on the safety information the law requires.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.
