While Americans can’t afford insulin, Big Pharma spends over $10B a year buying off the media and brainwashing you with predatory ads. TV. Internet. Magazines. All infected. They’re not promoting health, they’re pushing dependence. Congress must pull the plug. Ban Pharma Ads!

I talked to my doctor about this & he agrees that prescription drugs should not be marketed directly to the public. He also says they should end physician incentives to write prescriptions for drugs which can cause overprescribing.

HELP US SHOW DEMAND - Sign our Nationwide Petition calling on Congress to BAN Big Pharma Ads! >>

You cannot purchase these products. Only a MD can, and that's ONLY following a diagnosis, and ONLY if it's covered by your provider. These are simply bribes from Big Pharma to TV to comply with their messages. They aren't commercials.

Totally agree, so sick and tired of all these "tell your doctor " adds should not my doctor know what the hell I need. Take that advertising money and lower our cost..

As a kid, there were NEVER any drug OR legal ads on television. We need to go back to that! If you need a drug, your doctor will tell you which one is best for your condition. Come on! Drug companies are in the business to make money...off of you!

It is very clear that Pharma is making billions. I want these ads gone permanently. Tell me one person who tells their doctor that maybe its time to take a look at a certain drug. It doesn't happen.

Talk to her about that.

It's all about profits and nothing more

Look how many members of congress are owned by big pharma, starting with sanders and Warren

Don't forget about buying off democrat senators.

Absolutely! Everyone I know complains about the brutal bombardment of televised Pharma ads! I never find them helpful, but offensive. Pharma ads come across as a form of BULLYING! If my doctor recommends one, ok. But don’t say “Ask your doctor about … XYZ!”

I’m all for it as long as we ban advertisements from Personal Injury Attorneys also. Deal?

And graft and kickbacks.

yes.

It is strange way to waste money As the ads serve no purpose to the general public. Whatever the drug is, they cannot go to the store and just buy it because they saw it on TV.

What about the third party providers skimming from the pharma $’s

How Long will it take to pull their BIGGEST MONEYMAKER AD, OZEMPIC? Any Bets?

Whoever came up with Skyrizi ads should be flown to Antarctica and left there. Most annoying thing on TV today, including the Kardashians.

YES

Ads spend 10 seconds telling us the benefits. The next 30 seconds telling the side effects up to and including DEATH. WTAF???

Fuck company profits. There getting paid well now might I say. In the past no. Now yes

Hurry run to the pharmacy for your assfucka today

Newsflash, it isn't just Pharma backing these ads! Listen to any 30 & count how many times you hear 'contact/talk with your Doctor. When was the last time you could do that for free? Yes insurance might pay for the visit, which then benefits the insurer.

Yes no more big Pharma ads to give to the liberal so they can spew fake news on CNN MSLSD

Imagine the premium savings if big pharma quit advertising. We are paying for that garbage.

Ban PHARMA ads. They are detrimental to our health, much worse than tobacco ads!

Big Pharma has 2 to 3 minutes long commercials while others can only afford 30 seconds commercials.

Democrats run big Pharma !!!

Agree. Get out

Just curious. How does this type of ad work different than any other type of ad? Why are products from pharma so evil to advertise but not unhealthy food or over priced clothes?

So tired of them all, every TV channel, every 10 minutes, it's disgusting the amount of money wasted by Big Pharma. Commercials all look the same...cottage industry in CA to write, direct, act for these ads.

I agree. Why are they asking people ask for prescription drugs? Congress should ban them.

I thought Bobby was going to stop that bullshit

Yeah what happened to RFK saying he was going to stop this.
