Yes, it is funny !!!
You kind of wonder who writes those commercials and what kind of drugs
they take....


The biggest cost of new drug development used to be R&D but now it is
advertising. They need to make a bundle selling it before the patent
expires. Myrbetriq is about $5/pill.

What is R&D ?

I fail to understand the purpose of advertising prescribed meds.
Do people actually go to their doctors and tell them what drugs they
want, based on commercials? I'd think most doctors would not prescribe
the stuff anyhow, unless the patient needs it.

When I go to the doctor, I let the doctor determine what I need. Then I
ask the doctor if I really need it, or if it's just to cover up pain or
symptoms, because I am not one to take drugs unless they are absolutely
necessary. Generally the side efffects are worse than the illness
anyhow.

And if you listen to all the side effects in those commercials, I'd not
even want the stuff.
