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?
