As the US is one of onlya few countries that allow prescription drug advertising, maybe the better approach would be to stop the warnings and the ads and let dr.s do their jobs?

Easy fix: stop directly advertising to consumers!

They work for me. When the announcer says, "may cause death" I make a mental note to self: "Never, ever take that medication."

Yeah... There's plenty of drugs that I think 'if I had the problem that drug is trying to treat... I'd just live with it."

you may die from taking this drug; you WILL die if you don't take it. but since everyone dies anyways, we will all end up dying trying not to die.

I can remember before foods carried allergy warnings, and sufferers had no idea if they could eat an item. Then warnings appeared, which was great; you knew what you could eat! Now warnings have proliferated, cover everything, and sufferers have no idea if they can eat an item.

If you're warned about everything, you're warned about nothing.

YES!! At some point the mind it just says, “fuck it”. Same thing with cigarettes. In fact at one point you can be pushed so far with warnings you want to do the opposite thing because fuck them, I am not a child, stop treating me like one.

It should not be legal to advertise drugs on television anyway. Doctors should not be merely conduits to purchasing some drug you saw on TV.

How about you come out on the side of reason on this issue? That forcing individuals to conduct their business according to some expert opinion is anti-thinking.

I could see why they might backfire. If your list is super-long and includes both side-effects that are reasonably likely and side effects that are a million to one, the unlikely ones make people take the whole list seriously. "Their lawyers just make them include that."

Not only do they overwarn, but they are designed to! Drug makers want them to be unreadable and carry so much detail that the reader tosses them aside in frustration.

Or you could just be like every other industrialized nation and not let these companies advertise prescription medication to lay civilians
