Paid Listing Campaign on Prescription
Drugs
Legal Entities Against Drug Ads
There are numerous consumer forums and websites
raising their voice against prescription drugs ads. They reason
that advertising does not promote public health. It increases
the cost of drugs and the number of unnecessary prescriptions,
which is expensive to taxpayers, and can be harmful or deadly
to patients.
Also they voice their concerns on similar lines as prescription drug advertising is not educational. It is inherently misleading because it features emotive imagery and omits crucial information about drugs and their proper use, as well as about side effects and contraindications that can be found on the full FDA-approved label. Drug companies have an inherent and irredeemable financial conflict-of-interest which drives them to exaggerate the positive and minimize the negative qualities of their own products.
