Oh, man, wouldn't this be beautiful? It would be marvelous if that shit disappeared. Although I would miss the disclaimers. "Do not take Flixshigyonet if you are allergic to Flixshigyonet. Side effects may include spontaneous decapitation and explosive diarrhea." I actually saw one of these TV ads the other day that said to discontinue use if you experience swelling between your anus and genitals. A swollen taint! Seriously, these ads are such bullshit. Pharmaceutical companies should leave this stuff to physicians counseling their patients. I have been railing against this stuff for years. Just ask my wife. https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1890082145907200203 | ||

I have spent 55 years in clinical laboratory medicine and have been appalled at advertising for prescription drugs! People asking for drugs drive physicians crazy! Taking time to explain why an advertised pharmaceutical is not appropriate for a particular patient eats up the limited time they have in a patient appointment. Physicians are required to spend a lot of time with continuing education, including pharmacology, to maintain their credentials. That is far more detailed than a TV ad. No quarter .308/.223 | |||

Thank god.... some of those commercials are annoying beyond measure. Who ever wrote the Jardiance jingle and the one for Ozempic should be banned from ever writing music again.

What really got me was the way the older ads were- they wouldn't tell you what the drug they were trying to sell you was supposed to treat! The ads were like puzzles- OK, let's see, there's a guy walking his dog in the park. Now he's in a pottery class. OK, he's making dinner. Looks like some kind of stir fry. Now he's sitting on his deck with a beverage, looking up at the sky. Maybe it's coffee. It's a coffee cup, so... Maybe he has some booze in there. I think he needs a girlfriend. He could be a psycho. Maybe the girlfriend is buried under the deck and he's thinking about that. I don't know. These days, they slip in the purpose of the drug somewhere in the commercial, sometimes at the end, but it used to be that these ads were kinda useless. How am I to even begin to think I need what you're pushing if you don't tell me what it's for?  | |||

I swear most of those ads exist for the primary purpose of exerting financial leverage over the networks they run on. | |||

Maybe next he could ban NIH and CDC bureaucrats from receiving royalties on drugs they had a hand in approving. https://nypost.com/2024/06/02/...-they-tried-to-hide/ | |||

The blood of his fourth victim.    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Don’t you also love the calm happy voice in the background of these ads that states that for some people, this drug may also make you crap your guts out and die, but it is effective for the majority of users. | |||

I agree get them off TV. Although I did not mind the redheads. One going shopping in a Bronco. And one going for lobster lunch. Not the foggiest idea what the drug involved was. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

 (Jardiance. 99% sure that is what the "bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum" listed as a side effect is. And the latest singer of the jingle - itself awful - sounds like cats fucking.) | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
If RFK can make prescription drug ads go away, it may be the greatest policy decision ever to impact American medicine in my lifetime. I've never understood why a company would be able to advertise a drug that requires a prescription directly to a consumer. Lose the marketing department, stick to figuring out new stuff, and let the doctors decide who needs it. | |||

I remember one of those. It had a stylized butterfly flitting about and a breathy female voice saying, "On the wings of Lunesta!" I think it was a sleeping pill. | |||

Outstanding -- now if we could get rid of the pillow guy (or at least minimize the occurrence), it would make me just as happy. ______________________________ Stupid people are like glo-sticks. I want to shake the shit out of them till the light comes on | |||
