Medical Question
email from a friend | 12/16/2017 | unknown

Posted on 12/16/2017 11:03:52 AM PST by sodpoodle

I don't understand why prescription medicine is allowed to advertise on TV or why anyone would think of trying one of the medicines after listening to the laundry list of warnings of possible side effects. Suppose the Food and Drug Administration expanded their domain and regulated the wine business. Here’s a possible outcome of that control. ============================== ======

- Do you have feelings  of inadequacy? - Do you suffer from shyness? - Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? - Do you sometimes feel stressed?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Cabernet Sauvignon. **  See below **

- Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident. It can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

- You will notice the benefits of Cabernet Sauvignon almost immediately and, with a regimen of regular doses, you’ll overcome obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want.

- Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past. You will discover talents you never knew you had.

- Cabernet Sauvignon may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use it, but women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include but are not limited to:

- Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, a desire to sing Karaoke, and to play all-night Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and/or Naked Twister.

Warnings:

- The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

- The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.

- The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to think you can sing..

- The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

Please feel free to share this important information!

LIFE IS A CABERNET OLD CHUM!

***************************** *******

**CHARDONNAY, Scotch or Bourbon may be substituted for Cabernet Sauvignon, with similar results!

I used to just drink beer. Until I ran my car into my neighbors garage.

There's a medication for ''restless leg syndrome''. Some of the side affects are ''increased gambling and sex urges''. Wonder how that works. "C'mon baby, I got two to one odds I'm getting laid tonight!''. Some other medication side effect I once heard of, think it was for roseaca was ''oily discharge''. Man, I don't want to know what THAT is!

I recall that I was rather shocked that the manufacturer didn’t catch the problem with the following disclaimer...

A whole list of what-ifs and maybes, followed by the information that “the medicine could cause obstructed or swollen airways and the inability to talk or breathe.”

“If this happens, call your doctor !”

Then what ?

It took them about a year to change the wording.

A drug against skin rashes has the side effect of skin rashes.

Defeats the basic purpose of the ad.

“If erection lasts four hours or more, call your doctor immediately.”

Yeah, because my wife’s going to need a doctor by then. (just kidding, dear!)
