prescription pharmaceuticals.

there is plenty of ads for over the countrr medicine like aspirin or the wici medinait, which is hilarious to be sold otc. It contains alcohol, ephedrine (methamphetamine precursor), dextromorphan (opiod) and paracetamol (tylenol). That is quite a drug cocktail right there.

But yeah, advertisment for prescription drugs is insane. Nobody should ask there doctor if some drug they saw on the tv could be right for them.
