I hate prescription drug ads on TV - rgG - 02-18-2023
It seems Ike every other ad is for some prescription drug.
If you listen to the possible side effects, it is amazing anyone takes any of them.
I wish they were banned like cigarette ads,

If you weren't learning about new drugs, what would you demand from your doctor?

We should ban them.
Between those, the Medicare "Advantage" crap, the cheap life insurance, and the dreadful Spectrum Mobile ads featuring a scruffy, obnoxious guy that I just really want to kick in the nether regions, I am wearing out the Mute button.
Also, to folks producing ads: leave Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven alone. I don't ever want to be listening to music I love and think of some stupid ad.

Sorry. Only civilized nations ban drug ads.

being completely cut off from ads of any kind, I sometimes feel like I'm missing out... but then I get over it.

I demand a doctor with proper education, training, experience and common senses who knows which drugs are best for his/her patients and does not give in when the patients ask for a certain drug.

Nobody can turn a profit practicing medicine like that!

Thank God the Camp Lejuene ads seem to be gone.

There was an online article last week .. The drugs that are advertised are usually not more effective than what was already proscribed . So they advertise to get you to bug your Dr. about it . To make back their costs of making .
