Drug companies ads just don’t make any sense. They spend millions of dollars to tell the world how great their products are for treating this or that malady. Then they add the disclaimers.
"Using this product may cause shortness of breath, blurred vision, impaired thinking and your ability to drive or operate machinery. Who wants to take a product with side effects like these? Some even state, "there have been reports of serious injury or death."
My favorite is the ad disclaimer that says, "may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and diarrhea." I don’t care what I might have, I sure don’t need those to go along with it.
Of course, they will tell you that the odds are one in 100,000 of dying. If you don’t take the drug, you have a better chance.
Makes you want to run to your doctor and get a prescription for something.
