"Patients lost an average of X pounds in the first few weeks!"

*Not an FDA-approved weight loss drug. Take as directed*

Fuck off with the deception. Stop trying to sell drugs to the patient. They can't buy them directly anyway. Their doctor will figure out what they should take.

Healthcare should not be sold and promoted to the public like competing new fast food burgers. They're causing self-diagnosis and poor compliance. It's capitalism going too far.

they should be illegal. patients should not be going to doctors saying "i saw an ad on TV for this medication that fits all of my symptoms and i want it".

that's the precise role of a doctor -- to determine which medication(s) is/are appropriate

One more reason for them to stop this shit. "This might be a life or death decision, now ask your doctor to prescribe Zulagrus"

*The following disclaimer clears us of responsibility, you fucking idiot viewer*

Medicine to cure brittle bones.
Side effects: Bone pain, brittle or broken bones, and death...

Why even take such a thing? The side effects are the thing you're trying to fix.

it's not like doctors will just say "okay" whenever a patient tells them they saw an ad for Drug X and so they want Drug X, unless they're a pusher, so I'm not exactly sure what the point of these commercials are.
