I think all prescription drug commercials should be removed from television, magazines and newspapers. The cost of prescriptions is ridiculous as it is, and I don't feel we should be paying for their advertising. Let 'em use that money to reduce the price of the frickin' drug! Take Lamisil, for example. They make the commercial sound like just a bottle of Lamisil and you're nail fungus free. Not true. The stuff is $300 for 30 days, and you have to take it for at least 90 days!!! And even then, your nails aren't going to look right for at least a year, and 90 days isn't always enough to do the job. I've done that crap twice now, so it's two years and nearly $2K later, and I STILL have problems with the big toe on my left foot! Oh... and that big huckin' chicken is just stupid.
