I am completely against advertising drugs on TV. It doesn't create a more educated patient, because the drug companies try to make their product sound as good as possible (of course...they are trying to sell it). In medicine there are ALWAYS two and often multiple sides to each story and a drug may be a good or bad choice for a patient for multiple reasons. People need to realize that just as the Big Mac at McDonald's NEVER looks like the one on TV (and eating one won't make your life magically wonderful), the same goes for prescription drugs.
