MedlinePlus not working for me but the status is fine. What now?
It is usually local: try another browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. For health services, watch for patient portal and member sign-in failures, prescription refills or appointment booking not going through, and app errors. If many people report MedlinePlus here at once, the problem is on MedlinePlus's side.
