their syptoms based on an ad. The commercials started when the public became irrate when it came out our much wining and dining was occuring with doctors and members of Congress. When the numbers came out on the amount of vacations that were paid for by pharmacueticals people went crazy. They were then regulated to stop this insane practice and went to tv ads.

The death of the FDA regulations came around in the 90's when Bill Clinton was president.....the drug companies and Wall St. had no better friend than Clinton. Think the "Communications" Act he signed off on which allowed cable companies to go insane and offer no competion and released the tax frenzy we see on our bills each month.

Funny with all the drugs Americans take, you'd think they would be a bit cheaper.
