That says "TALK TO YOUR DR." he isn’t going to approve what he thinks isn’t necessary. The only prescriptions you will get are for what you need. It doesn’t mean you can get them just because they advertise them and say ask your Dr about them. They are just advertising.
well, our family also uses quite much meds:))
lets see .. cialis, acomplia, propecia.. quite often and also some others a few times a year. we buy our meds at online generic pharmacy http://www.savemoneyrx.net .
work same as brand, at least did not see any difference yet, have saved lots of money that way.
You know, they also have those sleep aid commercials that tell you that you shouldn’t drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how that particular medication will affect you. I’ve been confined to my home for months because I don’t know how those medicines affect me. My doctor won’t make a prescription because he says I don’t need them. How am I supposed to go to work?
I don’t think your doctor will approve half of that. For one thing, some of those medication are contra-indicated with the others. He’ll probably only give you what you’d die without.
None from me!
I also think consumer advertising is just plain wrong. When we see an ad that says "Talk to your doctor about…", I look at my family members and say, " Nope. Not gonna talk about it!"
If they put their advertising budget into actually HELPING people, what a great thing that would be.
I personally go out of my way to avoid prescribing drugs that use direct-to-consumer advertising. The ads generally drive people to take drugs they don’t need, and there’s almost always an alternative when they really do need them.
Amen WWD. I’m a student on the research side, not the clinical side, but even I have serious problems with direct-to-consumer advertising.
