Say Goodbye to Those Absurd Side-Effects Readouts in Drug Commercials. The FDA finalized a rule that will require a drug’s side effects to be "presented in a clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner.”
No! The doctor should be telling me about drugs. And only because they actually might fix what's wrong, not because they'll get a kick-back for shoving pills at me.
Kickback thing is kinda a reason to keep the ads tbh... Plenty of docs will 100% insist that the best med for something is whatever brand is plastered all over their calendar, calculator, desk toys, office decorations, etc...
Having ads kinda gives people options their doc wont mention because kickbacks.
