I believe that only the U.S. and Australia permit pharmaceutical ads on television. I don't care what they do Down Under in this regard, but these endless repetitive disgusting med ads should be banned from U.S. television just as cigarette ads were many decades ago.

@lauren I think OTC is legal most places, we have adverts for things like ibuprofen or antacids here in the UK but not the prescription med ads you all have.

And, yeah, those should be banned!

@DuncanMSussexPol Yes, I'm speaking specifically re prescription drugs.

I know that I will never open a conversation with a doctor with the phrase: "I saw this ad on TV..."
🤬

There may be a few others, it appears the laws on this have been changing rapidly. However, the U.S. is FLOODED with them.
