> Bottom line is, DTC works and most likely here to stay.Yes. I'm sure it is. Thanks for the article. Where did it come from?
I still have mixed feelings about this. While I don't like the idea of anyone telling me what I can't see, I really don't feel the need to hear any more about Viagra or its herbal counterparts. Or for that matter, ads for antidepressants that just talk around the problem. I do still wonder whether those ads would help anyone recognize their own problems.
And of course with aggressive enough marketing why bother creating an active drug in the first place. The advertising companies can probably sell sugar water just as well and then they wouldn't need to worry about side effects and withdrawal.
