I saw a well made commercial for a new drug the other day, of course with the horrifying side-effect warning run down, promoting/selling a drug for a condition I’ve never even heard of. I’m not the smartest guy, but I’m far from the dumbest. And while I’m not a doctor I have heard of a lot of common medical issues.
To make it short, I was totally shocked at a commercial for a drug to treat a rare condition being broadcast at like 2 in the morning during South Park. Is that really necessary? If the drug is so great shouldn’t the person’s doctor have it in their arsenal to treat the patient?
Do other countries have drug companies jacking up the costs by making commercials to advertise their drugs that treat rare conditions?
