Protecting Communities from Commercialism

from: Gary Ruskin, Commercial Alert

Each year, pharmaceutical companies spend $4 billion on ads for prescription drugs they say will make you feel happier, sleep better and improve your sex life.

Drug ads can be extremely dangerous, as the Vioxx tragedy showed. The ads are not educational. They just increase the cost of drugs and the number of unnecessary prescriptions.

37 organizations here
have joined with Commercial Alert and the National Women's Health Network to endorse our Public Health Protection Act here
which would stop direct-to-consumer prescription drug ads.

Our next step is to get our bill introduced in Congress.
