I'm not sure how it is across all of the US, but when I was in NY, I was certainly surprised to see advertisements for prescription drugs on TV. These always embed "ask your doctor about X".
That's just completely unheard of in Australia. You cannot advertise prescription drugs to consumers, period.
Maybe Americans are just more likely to self-diagnose and self-medicate in general? Or visit the doctor with an agenda for a drug, and see the doctor's prescription as mere paperwork?
