I do not favor direct-to-consumer advertising of this kind; for one thing it might well create a reverse placebo effect where people believe there's something wrong with them because they're bombarded with lists of symptoms, for another you can't actually buy these medications yourself, as above; for a third, most people don't have the inclination (and maybe not the education either) to read all the small print.
