If the disease doesn't get ya, the medicine just might.

|
I'm sitting here at my desk sorta watching and listening to the tv as I try really hard to get some stuff done, when yet another medicine commercial comes on.
These things always crack me up.
I specifically pay attention to the side effects of these new drugs, they are usually said very fast at the very end of the commercial, but I still hear them, and they make me laugh.
A medicine to help alleviate acid reflux which may cause severe gas, it's name?
Aciphex.
Seriously.
Ass-effects.
Ha!
Man, I'm so juvenile...LoL
A medicine for severe depression that should not be taken by the elderly or people with bi-polar disorder, because it can increase the risk of suicide and sudden death.
treatment for high cholesterol which may or may not lower your sex drive, consult your doctor if this happens so they can put you on another drug to increase your libido.

On some of these new drugs, the side effects are worse than the ailment.
I'm sure that if I looked up every single medication that I'm on, I'd find a few side effects that I am not particularly happy about.
One that may or may not increase or decrease my sex drive, one that may or may not increase the risk of sudden death, and I totally understand that they have to tell us the side effects, but wow, some of them are just kinda freaky.

Or is it just me who pays close attention to the drug commercials?

The Out Campaign: Scarlet Letter of Atheism


Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around.- Penn Jillette
