The article “Should Prescription Drugs Be Advertised Directly to Customers?” it talks about the pros and cons of prescription drugs being advertised. In the article it states that it will make people talk to their doctors about their symptoms. On the con side of the article it says that prescription drug users will be mislead due to insecurity and ignorance. Another pro is that the advertisements will help get profits that is needed. A con that is also from the article says that the people who will watch the ads will start to think that the drugs on the Tv will cure whatever problem they seem to have and they will continue to buy the drugs thinking it will help them reach a maximum point in their life and be pain free. I think that the prescription drugs should not be advertised directly to customers. People with hypochondria will be using drugs thinking they are having issues and that can be bad and dangerous for them. I think that there are lots of pros and cons to this topic. Over using drugs and misuse altogether isn’t good and if the drugs were really needed they would have been prescribed by their doctor. That is the intentions of the ads, to get people to think they want the drugs shown and get money for it. The website is accurate because there isn’t any side that is more leaned on it has both sides being discussed. Do you think that potentially there could possibly be more or less deaths from prescription drugs because of the advertisements? What type of emotions/feelings does prescription drugs ads cause you to feel?
