Are Drug Ads Simply Becoming a Laughable Marketing Tool For Big Pharma?



'Drug advertisements continue to (or attempt to) convince the ill- or un- informed that they can’t live without prescription drugs, even if the risks far outweigh the benefits.

From the ad voice-over: 
 
"Stelara may lower your ability to fight infections, and increase your risk of infections. Some serious infections require hospitalization. Before starting Stelara, your doctor should test for tuberculosis. Stelara may increase your risk of cancer. Always tell your doctor if you have any sign of infection, or have had cancer. Alert your doctor of new or worsening problems, including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems. These may be signs of a rare potentially fatal brain condition.
