You forgot Brain Constipation
Fun fact... anal leakage's first big hit was not even pharma related. It was potato chips.
Fucking Olestra
I think you forgot the anal leakage.
It's difficult to forget, I hear. Except my drugs cause hearing loss.
Is this something American I'm too British to have experienced? Also, I use adblock so I probability wouldn't see it anyway.
The have to include any and all side effects that testing showed.
In other news, it's straight retarded to allow pharmaceutical advertising. But here we are.
Actually this is not entirely true. It's anything that happened to any patient during any phase of testing. This is why so many "side effects" include death, because if you're doing an n=1000 study or whatever, SOMEONE is going to die, statistically, and you can't provably show that the drug you're testing didn't lead, at least in part, to that death. Good intentions with the reporting regulation, but not a good execution.
Yeah it’s banned in my country except for stuff like a pain relief balm
Yes, and me too. It's horrible stuff https://youtu.be/EQkAX_Gi-tM https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCVkLEuVBQd8LfJGeNOd4RqARRykgrhfA
Polish TV has similarish adverts for medical products.
I recently overheard one that was "fatal infection of the skin of the perineum." I thought might be one of the worst ways to go out.
God I hate the Jardiance commercials. I wish the writers a very die in a hole.
Thanks, I thought I'd gotten rid of that shitty ear worm but just a mention is all it took to bring it roaring back to life
WTF? That's worse than whatever it's claiming to cure.

Ask your doctor if Abilify is right for you. (Side note, fuck Abilify. It's the worst med I've ever taken by a huge margin)
are those all band names?
They are! Some of them even have good music (ouch, self jab). A lot of them fall squarely in the realm of non metalheads saying "this isn't music/this is just noise", a few of them are small scale bands, and a few of them are really iconic bands.
3 inches of Blood is very much the outlier genre-wise, it's power metal about DnD stuff.
Surprised to see you threw Anorexia Nervosa in there, I've never met anybody else who had listened to them, or even heard of em for that matter.

"Tell your doctor that you want your insurance company to give us piles of money to fuck you up."
I swear, drug companies' modus operandi solely revolves around coming up with side effects so awful that the original problem just doesn't seem as bad by comparison, despite the meds not actually helping it in any way.
Abilify made me unable to even consider anything beyond sleeping and eating.
What is it supposed to cure?
Typically depression and other mood stuff associated with bipolar.
I don't know if I'd want to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into songs about their type 2 diabetes.
That's why I take Claridryl!

Thanks for the thought, but Piped isn't working all that great for many folks. I've had a lot better luck using regular YouTube links with the Grayjay app..
In case it is relevant to your case too, I'll mention I have this problem when I use them (or firefox) over my VPN's "normal" connections (yet YT over chromium still works), yet they all work fine over my VPN's "P2P-friendly" connections. I haven't had time to diagnose exactly why though...
Holy shit, I love unedited footage of a bear!

Beat me to it.
I always say this: ads exist in a parallel dimensions where problems are nonexistent. What minor problems there are can be solved trivially in less than 30 seconds.
I always thought the generic nature of many of these ads are slightly strange. They'd show some smiling woman walking down a beach, hair blowing in a breeze. Then they start talking about a medicine for COPD, bipolar disorder, acid reflux or whatever. I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the woman is afflicted with one of these maladies and now is relieved from it? To me it looks like stock footage of some random lady walking down a beach who had no clue she'd be in a ad for Prozac.
You can certainly aspire to those things, some of them are rather easy to accomplish.
You try and then realize its all the other people who mess it up, so you either remove yourself from society or try to destroy it to star anew. You know... the Thoreau vs Hitler dichotomy.
I just always imagine that those ads are the vivid hallucinations of a patient in a mental hospital.
There are no side effects, just happy accidents
The unfortunate reality is most people would rather choose "Joy" pills rather than face the realities that are required to be faced if we want to fix everything.
