Resolved Question

Have you ever actually asked your doctor about a medication advertised on television?

With the high cost of medications, it seems that all advertising does is increase the costs. Is there something I'm missing here?

geenpunchbuggie	Posted Apr 8th, 2009 at 2:18PM um... i THINK that i once asked about ortho-tri-cyclen because of its alleged ability to control acne. i think i had actually seen it in a magazine though, NOT tv. i think that is all though. mostly i just re-request other medcations that had been prescribed before and worked.
