Blind sided by side effects...

Close Your Eyes to Drug Ads.

Last year the FDA urged pharmaceutical companies to stop using distracting images and music in their
TV drug ads following complaints that manufacturers deliberately used misleading techniques to downplay their products’ risks while emphasizing potential benefits.  The FDA suggested they use highlights to emphasize documented side effects and slow the pace at which the risks were being read so viewers could better understand the drug’s potential dangers.

We have a better solution. Just close your eyes.
When a drug commercial comes on TV just close your eyes and LISTEN to the side effects.  Don’t be
distracted by the ‘pretty visuals.’  The pharmaceutical companies don’t want you to realize the underlying risks to taking their drugs.  But if you close your eyes and listen closely, you’ll hear just how ridiculous, dangerous and deadly their products can be.
