    NO!!! I think this is the number one reason why health care costs are through the roof. People see a commercial, and they've got to have that drug. The doctors write prescriptions to shut them up, and probably enjoy nice little freebies from the drug cos. Oh yeah, how much does the drug cost subsidize the advertising? It's flat out shameful.

    No. I really wonder whether even do it since people cannot buy the drugs without a prescription from their doctor. In addition, they also list all kinds of possible side effects that are very scary. I think it is stupid and wish they would get pulled.
