This is one of my pet gripes, Jeff.
They are actually "inventing" diseases and syndromes for the meds they are creating. Not everyone's body functions the same way, but every nuance is now subject to a medication. I believe this type of advertising by pharmaceutical companies should be banned. If they want to advertise themselves and their accomplishments, that is fine, but to recommend on TV that people ask their doctor for a medication, oft-times without informing what condition the med is for, should be outlawed. Maybe they could lower costs to consumers then. Oh, I forgot - they need big bucks to contribute to campaigns like that of our current and future chief executive.
