stupid jingles that they play. I can't go out and buy them without a prescription from a doctor. I just wonder how much money is spent on advertising that crap. Why put us through all this bs when they also pay big bucks to drug salesmen (pushers) to get doctors to prescribe them. They could lower the prices by billions if they just stopped the drug pushing on TV, magazines and internet 24/7.
