Drug ads - let's have a heated debate



Insiders' dear new friend Dr John Crippen is stirring up a real hornets nest about Big Pharmas' drug ads!

Insider thought this old Searle ad from his extensive files might help stimulate the debate further. Insider would like to point out that, as is often the case, he made his good lady wife some breakfast this morning! LOL

Will try to get trackback.

Ads for prescription drugs turn doctors in to drug pushers. Patients aren't qualified to know what drugs they want.

All prescription drug ads have done is make the uninformed consumer less likely to be treated appropriately.

"Ask your doctor about..." and the rest of the nonsense that is in these ads only hurts diagnosis and treatment.
This is called leading the witness and it should be allowed.
