Hey my friend! Have I got the answer for you. I'm just reading a book all about pharma. companies.,,,,,,,,,,,,bottom line is this.............it's all about making BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.................the FDA and FTC have all the control and are paid millions of dollars a year to approve all of their disease enhancing pills so us poor victims will have to buy more pills. Get the book......Natural Cures.."THEY" DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT...........by Kevin Trudeau.......buy it at WalMart......$9.99 You'll then see why!!

They know you can influence what they prescribe. Usually doctors have several options of what they can prescribe for your medical condition. If you ask about a certain brand of drug AND it's one of the options that the doctor knows may work for your condition then you have brought it to mind and increased the probability that he may prescribe it. That means more money to the drug company that influenced you to ask your doctor!

It's all about the money. Drug companies are some of the richest in the world. They rate up there with oil and insurance companies.

Actually, the commercials really DO help to market the product! The target audience is the people who suffer from the conditions that those items are meant to help. I know that I ask my doctor about new medicines frequently! Often, doctors haven't tried them yet because they're so new, and don't want to switch your meds unless you are willing to switch, etc.

Drug companies do commercials so you will go to your doctor to ask for their medications. They want your money, plain and simple.
