American tv ads are so bizarre. The way they just advertise prescription drugs incessantly. 😮And people say “oh but the uk has national healthcare so that’s why you don’t get those ads”, but I grew up in SA which has no NHS equivalent, and they don’t advertise prescription drugs either!
The US didn’t advertise prescription drugs until the 1990’s. It’s ridiculous. A lot of patients end up pressuring their doctors to do unnecessary tests or give expensive medications because of these ads.
