Shocking ... and yet not so shocking, when you consider the other marketing activities pharma companies get into.
Viagra is probably the best example for heavy marketing of a drug (at least in the US): TV ads, NASCAR sponsorship, etc.
- tdoggette 17y agoYes, but Pfizer isn't engaging in large-scale deception that costs billions of dollars and risks millions of lives when they show a car smashing through a billboard that says "Erectile Dysfunction" on it.
- electromagnetic 17y agoViagra is probably the most heavily marketed drugs in Canada, beside the fact they cannot legally say you need it or even describe what it fixes unless it's in information handed out to your doctor. It doesn't stop it being in prime time adverts that make zero sense and being plastered around sporting events. Honestly, I don't remember cigarettes being marketed so heavily to the public, which disturbs me greatly about what the pharma companies are intending with viagra and other identical drugs.
