I'm the conversation that happens when affluent people in major metropolitan areas watch these commercials and wonder why they would need to advertise to consumers given that it's a prescription drug and wouldn't you just ask you [INSERT SPECIALIST HERE] what they recommend?

I'm the puzzled reply "Can you imagine telling Dr. Schwartzbaumstein 'I saw some drug advertised on TV and it sounds better than the one you're prescribing. I want that one."

I'm the peals of laughter that follow as we have no idea that many less affluent Americans don't have a highly credentialed specialist they can call upon and thus need to rely on TV commercials.

The thing is, a patient can ask their doctor of X is right for them - possibly worth the conversation.

But most of the time, the insurance company isn't super gung ho about covering a newer medication. Unless your doctor can give you 90 days of samples, or your plan will approve if a physician insists, then most are shit out of luck and have to take the cheapest thing.

by Anonymousreply 132May 26, 2020 2:40 AM

The US and New Zealand are the only countries where direct-to-consumer advertising of the type seen here is fully legal. In NZ, at least, fewer than once in six people are for it but the process of replacing the old bill (which allows the industry to regulate its own advertising) keeps running into a brick wall. $hocking, I know.

I’m the embarrassing facts no one ever thought they would have to read about Adult Diapers.

Background information you should know:

A pullup is a diaper for adults that pulls on and off like regular underwear.

A brief is a brief with tabs on the side like large baby disposable diapers.

A booster pad is an additional pad put in an incontinence product that makes it much more absorbent.

The average adult bladder holds sixteen fluid ounces when full.

Most leakage happens in diapers for adults at the leg openings if it happens.

Tear-away sides on a pull-up means that it can be ripped right off.

It is recommend that you take your waist measurement at the belly button. Then check the sizing chart for the product to see what size to wear. All products in this article are unisex, used by both men and women.

“WARNING: Flatulex is not intended for weight loss. Side effects include: fulminant diarrhea, unproductive cough, tremor, blurred vision, spontaneous combustion, dizziness, more fulminant diarrhea, and jazz hands. Tell your doctor if hands swell larger than dinner plates. May cause glaucoma, rickets, dyspepsia, dyslexia, amnesia, tardive diskinesia, heart murmur, or hair growth on palms of dinner plate sized hands. In rare cases, some people taking Flatulex report necrosis of extremities, temporary discoloration of genitalia, believing oneself is a bat, and halitosis. Do not use Flatulex if you are allergic to tryptodexebenzoblottohottomoroholavalene, Abilene, valvoline, aquateen, or pumpernickel. May contain dog blood.”

I remember some 15 years ago, the maker of Lyrica was pushing it as off label treatment for depression, without any good research backing it up. They got in trouble with the FDA and now have to make that clear in their advertising.

But of course, fibromyalgia is partly a psychosomatic disorder, and many with it have underlying psychiatric issues.

by Anonymousreply 184May 30, 2020 12:52 PM

Fibromyalgia has no diagnostic tests and its “symptoms” are all subjective and self-reported, so anyone can claim to have it and demand drugs like Lyrica. And doctors give it out freely to get these patients out of their offices. It’s a goldmine for the makers of Lyrica.
