Greg Murphy on Twitter: "Just finished watching the evening news. I saw TWELVE medicine commercials. As a physician these do NOTHING to influence me on the best medicine to prescribe. How many would prefer to see Direct to Consumer Advertising go away if it would drop your prescription costs by 15%?"

  I hate watching TV for this reason; it’s more commercial time than programming; either some medication with side-effects that require 60/90 sec of air-time to describe, or attorney’s that will sue for any and every possible scenario.

  It should be illegal. Makes for lots of hypochondriacs.

  The ads aren’t aimed at prescribers. I wonder how many patients have been informed about conditions they weren’t aware they had?

  Or 3 to 4 pages in a magazine, I skip through it. It does nothing to me, except holy crap did you see ALL the side effects? No thank you, I rather die.

  I have seen Inferior drugs become the market leader due to d2c advertising. And many patients believe they need a certain med from these misleading ads. But please do something about these PBM’s owned by insurance comp.forcing small independent pharmacies out of business.
