what do you say to pharmaceutical ads?
  there are too many
  they push up prices
  they are annoying
  it's ok, doctors will not let patients take something they shouldn't
  they provide useful information
  they encourage competition
  they make money for tv and radio stations
  people may want to take something they don't need, as a result of ads

they didnt use to be allowed to advertise prescription drugs but now you see more ads for that than for beer or...other essentials of life, like cars.

i believe this encourages people to wheedle their MD to get drugs they don't need.

also, all those ads drive up the cost of the medicine, and take away from research and development.

so i wish they would stop the ads, like it used to be.

what say you all?

There are alot of the over the counter drug ads but i think we should be worried about the side-affects.
Drowsiness,
Fainting,
Runny Nose,
kidney failure,
etc.
