The problem is that medication isn't a cure-all, and can actually significantly worsen a situation. It would be like selling 'radiation devices' people can use to treat their own cancer.
Of course, if we have medication that has been proven to work without side-effects, I'd be all in favor.
- tn13 10y agoI know people who had psychological issues. The doctor gave them a simple prescription for "Restyl"[1]. The person has then simply buys the medicines by walking into a drug store with the same old prescription for the rest of his life. One doctor's visit that is all. In USA the guys will have to make several doctors visit, renew the prescription every month. Not to mention the insane amount of friction to get that doctor's appointment. I do get the point you guys are making but letting the drug companies actively advertise their medicines will help in informing customers what drugs they may buy. [1] Restyl, also known by the brand names of Niravam, Xanor, and Xanax, is a benzodiazepine-class, short-acting medication used to manage moderate to severe panic attacks and anxiety disorders. It is also used as an auxiliary treatment for anxiety caused by moderate depression. It's available in both generic form and extended release form (Xanax XR). In America, this medication is a schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
