I’m not sure if the following is true or I notice because I’m disgusted by it. There seems to be a disproportionate number of prescription medication ads on television. There seems to be one every break. There are ads for problems I didn’t even know existed.
These ads are targeted at consumers to request the medication from their doctor. Advertising people are good at what they do. Maybe there needs to be a removal of prescription medication ads from television. Hard liquor ads were once removed when they were perceived to encourage young people to drink.
