As for the commercials and the endless side effects of curing the sniffles, they are a cause for laughter almost each time. It's like, ok, I have a headache and if I take this medicine it may cause internal bleeding, diarrhea, swollen glands, scoliosis and a whole litany of side effects up to and including, death. How many do I take?
.
After you hear the litany of side effects, doesn't it cross your mind that maybe this medicine just isn't as safe as it should be?

CYA, Barry. You gotta keep the lawyers quiet.

I like to track the time between the initial release of a new medicine and the first ad regarding a class action lawsuit if you’ve taken that medicine.

I'm sure you have some amazing stories to tell Frank. But I'm guessing you won't be telling them on a public chatboard.

I recommend "Pharmageddon" by David Healy, M.D.

I've always found it peculiar that pharmaceutical companies feel the need to market their prescription meds to us through commercials. If they can't convince the doctors that we need one of their drugs they'll hit up the consumer and hope they go bug their physician about it and convince them that it's needed.

With all the disclaimers in the last 30 seconds about how the drug could kill or maim you and cause everything else under the sun, I am surprised the ads work -- assuming they do. The people playing those caring doctors and the trusting patients crack me up. A more realistic ad would show a doctor running an hour late and barely listening while typing into his or her laptop. OK, to be fair, not all are like that.

Watch any of those commercials with the tv muted and it's impossible to accurately guess what condition the drug is designed to treat.

The depression ones have women with those studied sad looks.
