my dad worked at hospital and a few patients would ask about what they saw on TV. He said that it was just a little fluffy (TV ads) to justify Rx cost. He said some drug company reps should be in prison for bribery along with a few doctors that would prescribe drugs that didn't treat shit or just plain over priced - reformulated version of basic edition that worked.. The drug companies would punish reps that didn't push certain ones... 30-40% of US medical costs are fluff.. f-kin scam

I'm just glad that I have mejolory(sp?) thyroid cancer type SEVEN, so I'm eligible to take all these meds that are advertised.
And as mentioned above, that whole side effect of taint bleeding <shudders> MKSixer , maybe you actually explained something to me. How can a side effect of medications for <insert random diabetes symptom> cause respiratory infection??? SOMEBODY got it during the trial |

Speaking of commercials, this one just started making the rounds on one of the free streaming services that I watch:

I swear I heard/read somewhere a long time ago that part of the drug companies responsibility to bring a drug to market is that they are required to make known publicly the side effects of it.
So the commercials are more are requirement of being allowed to sell the drug, rather than trying to convince people they need a drug. At least that's my understanding why the drug companies are even willing to produce a commercial that's full of happy people while talking all the horrible side effects. They have to, in order to sell it. But my memory is foggy, I can't remember what I had for breakfast. Maybe I should take something for that… /s |

But I always do it from a level-headed, fact-based point of view. Just because I'm ranting, doesn't mean I'm not correct. |

I think the layman underestimates the value of Corporate or Image Marketing. Even if you don't want this drug, maybe you will pick their other product from the store shelf. The message is, "This is a good company".
Also, if any of you watch the Sunday morning news shows like many of the more wealthy folks do, the 'buy our stock' angle might be more obvious. I don't think this is a small factor. |
