All Pharma ads must depict side effects too

Instead of banning pharmaceutical ads, there needs to be a law that requires real depictions of the side effects people suffer from taking these medicines. Put these real depictions of side effects in the same advertisements where potential patients are encouraged to “talk to their doctor if this new wonder drug is right for them.” :smiley:

It would make for safer medicines, and inform the public about what they are really taking. Who would want to take the new wonder drug, if they see the actors on the ads having constant diarrhea, heart attacks, and potentially suicides? But if the medicine was safe, then there would be no problem.

It’s a creative way to address a serious problem.
