14 0 ReplyCanada is a bit on the weird side too. For us companies can either advertise what their drug does, or advertise their name, but not both.

I mean, here (in Germany) we have ads for meds too, but only for freely available stuff that you can reasonably self-medicate. Like ibuprofen and stuff

TV: "Ask your doctor about DRUG today!"
Me: "Shouldn't my doctor be the one telling me about DRUG? Cuz, like... He actually thinks I need it?"
Of course even that is not necessarily the best... If the doctor gets a kickback for pushing a certain drug, they're no better.

Hmm, this psoriasis drug seems quite effective! Maybe I should ask my doctor about it!
Warnings at the end of the ad: "do not take if you have, have had, or ever will have the sniffles, as the deaths of yourself and everyone you've ever loved will result"
Nah, I think I'll pass..
