Prescription Drugs Advertized On TV

Tweet

I really don't understand why prescription meds are advertized on TV. We are not doctors, so is it really our job to ask doctors if these meds are right for us? The only time I've suggested a prescription from my doctor was for a re-occurring problem at which point I just told him I'm experiencing a _____ and need a prescrition for _____, That's only after he's been prescribing me the same med for the same re-occuring problem for years, and I know. LOL Have you heard some of the listed side effects of these meds on TV? LOL The cure sounds worse than the disease! Personally, I don't think that prescriptions should be big business the way they are. I think that docotrs and pharmacists should be the ones making the suggestions, not people sitting in their living rooms, who really don't have a clue about medicine. What do you think?
