I have always thought it unhealthy to have prescription drug advertisements on TV.

I don't understand why it's done, especially for, say, a drug I've seen heavily advertised for blind people that have sleep disruption. How many blind people are out there to sell this drug to? It makes no sense, to me, in a money-making venture like selling drugs why you would spend millions and millions of advertising dollars on a drug for a small demographic.

If anyone knows why the pharmaceutical companies would do this, would you please respond?
