But how do you know you are allergic until you take it and have a reaction?
And why is it all meds seem to cause nausea and diarrhea? Can't they come up with a new set of side effects, like turning green and growing horns?
I want to meet the marketing genius who handled the Viagra account..... "Side effects - if you have an errection that lasts more than 4 hours call your doctor".
Why? To brag?
It probably happened ONCE in clinical trials.
The only way they could top that would be - "Viagra may cause permanent penile enlargement..."
Yeah - the ads are getting weirder.
There are so many that now describe various conditions as 'moderate to severe'. Who the fuck says, "I have moderate to severe *fill in the blank*?"
I have never heard a doctor describe any condition I have presented with as 'moderate to severe'. Those are the new advertising buzz words for pharmaceuticals.

Oh - there's another one - migraine medications say that possible side effects include headache. Say what?
The remedy I am going to take for a headache may cause a headache...what could go wrong?

My wife was once prescribed a mild sedative. One of the side effects was ‘may cause drowsiness’.

Porn is free and weed is readily available. What’s stopping you?

A whole lotta people thought we wouldn't last.
Not enough preservatives?
