Didn’t congress pass legislation some years ago to get rid of those ads? Whatever happened with that?

They’re some of the worst ads on TV ... and half of each of those ads is spent listing side effects.

“”and half of each of those ads is spent listing side effects.””

Half the time we aren’t even told what the drug is for. In addition to: “do not take if you’re allergic”....How would one know?

AND - “call your doctor right away and discuss XXXYYYZZZ.”

Right - will get right on that! Sure would be a surprise to my doctor!
