Neither! If people would just stop and think for a moment, there's a pretty good chance they don't need all those medications . . .

By the time I hear the whole list of possible adverse reaction, I have no interest in TV advertised medicines.

I discuss my medications with my Dr. He never over prescribes anyway.

Yes the doctor gives them away freely. If you don't mind waiting for an appointment.

Yes, I feel that there is emotions come from.

A doctor should be the one deciding the prescription. That is not to say that a patient cannot ask about medicines that have been advertised. Important, too, it is for patients to tell doctors when they are experiencing symptoms, especially if the condition is not going to show up on the standard tests.
