Please end all pharmaceutical advertising on the radio, television, and in print. The average consumer is not knowledgeable or properly informed to go to their physician and request a drug of their choice. Most physicians are not current on research either and will gladly prescribe whatever the patient requests as they derive financial incentives for doing so. The US is one of only two countries that allows direct to consumer advertising for pharmaceuticals the other being New Zealand. This practice needs to end ASAP. Big pharma makes 70% of their profits off of US consumers. Is it any wonder we are the sickest, fattest country in the world?
