This Artical is about how prescription drugs are advertised on tv. And in the more recent times they are advertiseing even more. But in the older years they dint advertise as much but one of the perscription drugs they did advertise was thalidomide witch was to stop morning sickness or insomina. But little did the parents know that the pill would have a major side effect that made they child have a major birth defect. This birth defect made them be born with out limbs or limbs in strang spots.
But luckly the drug Thalidomide was not run on tv other wise alot more people would have been affected by the drug and many more babys would have been affected by the drug. If they advertise drugs on tv they should have it so that you must go to a docter to get the drugs and not just over the counter drugs. They should go to a docter to be tested to see if this drug wil affect them in any harmful way.
I think that they should take the drug advertisements off tv and if people realy want to know what kind of drugs there are they can go on the internet and look or call a local farmacey or talk to there docter about durgs that can help them insted of posting them all over the TV
