Drug Ads

Commercial Alert is trying to get a Bill into Congress in their effort to
Protect Communities from Commercialism @ www.StopDrugAds.org

\"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.\"

Corporate PhRMA spends $20,000 per Canadian Doctor per year in continuing education into approved drug prescribing practices.

Direct to Consumer Ads are picked up and broadcast internationally to consumers around the globe, wherever there is a Cable TV picking up American TV.

Normally this wouldn\'t be a problem accept that Corporate PhRMA seems able to state fantasy as established scientific fact AND NOT to be criminally charged for their advertising fraud, e.g. the 1970s theorem propagandizing - brain chemical imbalance! Even though decades of studies have shown that the only - brain disabling, sometimes brain damaging chemical imbalance - that exists is the one that occurs after we take their psychotropic/neuroleptic drug.
