The United States and New Zealand are the only countries where drug makers are allowed to market prescription drugs directly to consumers. The U.S. consumer drug advertising boom on television began in 1997, when the FDA relaxed its guidelines relating to broadcast media.

Wonder how THAT happened? Big Pharma paid some politicians... and the FDA/ Big Pharma share a lot of employees... meaning many on one side have worked for the other... and vice versa.

That needs to be fixed/stopped and never allowed again.

Don't you want to know if there are medications for serious conditions so that you know to discuss the possibility of using an advertised drug with your doctor?

I hate most nanny's on newer cars but that one works well. Only problem is on the highway you may set cruise at say 80 and come up on a slower car and not realize you are now going whatever speed he is going. Happened to me often on a rental in Alaska until I got used to it.
