Hi!
>Those TV advertisements also need to be curtailed too, don't you think? The advertising is misleading and causes patients to influence their docs into Rxing Paxil, etc.
LOL.... See my post above- 'Funny things happen in the USA.'
It's so different here, drug companies are only allowed to advertise a restricted range of OTC meds to the general public. Advertising prescription-only drugs to the general public is illegal.
Advertising is strictly regulated, pharmaceutical companies are only allowed to spend a small amount of money on advertising their products.
