Are you sick of all of these pharmaceutical company ads?

I find them disturbing. All of them require a prescription and many are incredibly dangerous.

I'm speaking of TV ads mainly...

Yes, I am so sick from these commercials that I better call my doctor and ask him to prescribe me some medicine. Just kidding 😂

Seriously now yes, I do hate them!
Hell, after listening to all the side effects sounds worse than the reason you were prescribed it.

This is true.
I always read the long paper that tells me all about my prescription I just got at the pharmacy.

One of the side effects was death!

So my doctor asked why didn't take it and I told him because one of the side effects is death.

So, the next visit he prescribed the same medicine - the one with the death side effect.

Maybe he's trying or hoping I'll die 🙄?

The only thing I don't like about them is when they say, "tell your doctor to prescribe you _______". Like you know better than your doctor because of some t. v. ad. I work with this b**** who's a know it all and she says she tells her doctor what to prescribe her and I always tell her, "I bet you doctor just loves you. To think he wasted all the years of schooling when he could have just called you".🙃😆

The u. s. and New Zealand are the only two countries that allow pharmaceutical advertising on t. v. and New Zealand has more regulations on it

Definitely need to do that here...

Definitely sick of them. I miss the time when tv commercials were about laundry detergent, toothpaste, and grocery products. Now it's mostly pharmaceuticals, health insurance, and charities.

My favorite one is there's an antidepressant "booster" - one of the side effects is depression and suicidal thoughts.

The pharma companies are wholly corrupt as is any agency who takes money from them.

What on this site or in general. i don't get any ads because i use Google Chrome ad blocker, ads get on my nerves. They are intrusive and freeze websites and crash my device.
