[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 730233, member: 1963"] I don't like the prescription drug advertising either. I picked up a magazine in my psychiatrist's waiting room the other day. It was basically a "living with mental illness" sort of thing. It was 90% drug advertisements. One page of bright, shiny, how wonderful the stuff would make your life, and one page of tiny, tightly spaced, medicalese. Now, I can read and understand the medicalese, but most people can't, or don't bother. All they see is the bright and shiny. Right now, on the cable stations I watch, I am being bombarded with diabetes drug adverts. "Ask your doctor about...". A lot of these medications have deadly side effects and interactions, as well as being horribly expensive. Many of them are no more effective than older cheaper drugs. Same goes with cholesterol/triglyceride drugs. With cholesterol drugs, the older statins are no more or less effective than the new, expensive ones, and most are safer. [/QUOTE]
