This is hands-down the greatest drug commercial ever created

By Nick Meyer

If you watch a lot of network TV or cable news shows, chances are you’ve also seen an awful lot of drug commercials. With more and more people taking responsibility for their own health and going the natural route, drug companies are feeling the pressure, and stepping up the advertising.

Believe it or not there are only two major countries that allow direct-to-consumer advertisements for prescription drugs — America and New Zealand. It’s been estimated that drug companies spent a whopping $4.5 billion on such ads in the last two years, at an increase of 30 percent.

It’s gotten so bad that even the American Medical Association called for a ban on direct-to-consumer drug advertising in fall 2015, hoping to prevent the unnecessary use of expensive prescription drugs.

Perhaps the only silver living to the current state of Drug Commercials-Gone-Wild is the way they provide a never-ending source of material for comedians (and lawsuits for local attorneys, I suppose).
