Drugs are advertized on TV and other places such as magazines so people will be familiar with them, making them acceptable. People have been brainwashed to think you can take a pill and it will be a fix-all. People do not think about the fact that every one of those drugs has a side effect or can adversely interfere with the body as a system, upsetting its balance. Drugs should be used sparingly, like fats and alcohol.

Every-other ad on television is an ad for somekind of drug... it's ludicrous! And when you stop to think about how much television is viewed by the average person, and how misinformed those same people are (at least in-part due to watching all that tv), this glaring problem becomes both increasingly terrifying and clear simultaneously.

It should be plain illegal to advertise any drug anywhere in the world. At best your doctor should be the one to advise patients since they already in bed with Big Pharma.....

Why do they need to spend all this money to convince us that their drugs work.

If they worked, they would just sell themselves.

And guess where that $5.4 billion advertising money comes from.
