                             Used to be that, you got sick...went to the doctor...he/she would write a perscription...tell you to take two of these and call me in the morning!  You did, and generally felt better!  Or like the old "SMITH AND DALE ROUTINE"  "Doc, it hurts when I do that!! The Doc's reply...."Then DON'T DO THAT!!"  Or, Doc I have a headache..his or her response was take two aspirin and call me in the morning!!   It usually worked. I don't know, it seems that something about the morning makes them function better...Ya think??  Things seemed so simple then didn't they???   Now they perscribe things with wierd sounding names that would make your mama wash you mouth out with soap if she heard you utter them!!   Not only do they sound strange, but apparntly they ARE STRANGE!!  My doctor perscribed blood pressure and cholesteral medication, one of which showed up on a TV commercial.  According to the add, the side affects however may cause diarhea, infrequent urination, blurred vision...etc.  Yeah that makes sense to me, treat one problem....create more....Duh...I'd rather go over "Niagra Falls in a KYAK" then take that junk!!  I'd like to know how the drug companies can get away with this.   And not only do they admit the side affects but they appear to be proud of them!!!      Come on, don't blame the public that apparently the soft spots in your heads seemed to have not hardened.   It's not just the perscription drugs, but the over-the-counter medicines too!!  Their disclaimers are hilarious... "This product may cause leakage"...."If your erection lasts more than four hours, call you doctor..(or maybe the sexy nurse first...who knows maybe the Olympic pole vaulting team can use you..)   If you take two or more it may cause you to TALK IN TONGUES! TOE DANCE IN YOUR UNDERWEAR IN TIMES SQUARE! THINK YOU'RE A BIRD!   If any of these things occur, call your doctor and after his laughing subsides....he may ask you to fly to his office!

What is truly bazar is the many different names for the same medication!!!

I worked in a surgical department before and the medicine carts were stocked with the same medicine under 3 different names!!!

It would be so easy to make drug mistakes and for someone to die!!! I feel there should only be one name for a medication and if theres a generic brand it should keep the original name!!! maybe put an a,b,c next to it to show its generic!!!

I totaly agree....It's happened in my family. IT's scary isn't it? I'll go one further what about the ones that they RECALL?!?! Oops...sorry...my bad, if taken with other medications can cause heart failure. May be fatal...may cause aneurisms...may result in DEATH!!! It seems that all they have to do is recall the product is to RECALL the medication. All done..see we fixed it! NO! GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME...OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT. YOU CAN'T RECALL A HUMAN LIFE!!!

The problem with our country is that a pill cures all. No matter what you have, there's a pill for it. The pill makes you feel better (hopefully), or you get worse with side effects. Don't fret little ones, there's another pill that can cure the side effects! This is how drug companies make money, and how the goverment allows it, makes me sick. I'm sure there's a pill for that to!

The problem is that when the patent expires the drug companys need to find and formulate other drugs to keep the prices high.Reguardless of the dangers. the fda really doesn't care. If they did they would regulate the prices and pass the drugs that truly work. The old drugs have worked for hundreds and some cases thousands of years. With todays technologys would could refine them to make them better. But when the patient runs out nobody wants to do the research because another company can stand by and copy it without legal recourse and share the profits.They truely don't want the medicine to work. You get side effects or sick from one they have a medicine for the side effects.

This is totally out of context, but I wanted to share. You know how every medicine has its generic form, i.e: Acetaminophen is generic form of Tylenol, Ibuprofen is Advil, Naproxen is Aleve...

well, anyway..looks like they are making a generic form of Viagra, and the name they have for it is PERFECT! Well actually, they have a couple of names for it, and they are trying to decide which one works best. So, the contenders are: Mycoxafailin, Mycoxadroopin, or Mycoxarisin.

HA!! I received that in a email not too long ago, and I thought it was hilarious!

You are hillarious. I need a good laugh and you gave it to me.

You are so right about prescription drugs and these commercials. I think eating right and taking vitamins help ward off a lot of conditions people take medications for.

Great Post !!! :)

Andrea10,

You are absolutely right. Eat, sleep, exercise and think right and you wont need doctors/meds. I love the commercials. They show me that my ache/pain is really not so bad - that the pill cure is worse - so it is up to me to do some work to solve the problem naturally rather than trying to take an easy way out.
