My family and I have been watching post-season baseball, and I think I have to lie down. We've seen so many ads for drugs prescribed to treat plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis that I'm sure I've developed a rash, nausea, joint pain and dizziness. Just by watching. iSpot, the TV ad news site, says drug companies bought 895.8 million dollars worth of ads in sports programming last year.
For sure. I caught one drug commercial the other day that had the name, the jingle, the fake happy people, side effects, the 'ask your doctor if it's right for you,' and nowhere did it say what the medication is actually for.
