Post the med you seen on tv today!

Published

Funny, after reading a few posts about people seeing drugs on the nclex exam that they never heard of, and gave the advice to watch commercials for newer drugs... I decided to turn on the tube and let my mind relax, low and behold the first thing I saw was a commercial for Crestor which is to help lower cholesterol. Feel free to share the medication advertisments that you happened to see.:jester:

Or maybe it doesn't have to be a commercial per say...a billboard, or even advertisements that are placed on the net, I used to see them all the time but really didn't pay attention, of course I will now.:wink2: For those who won't read my opening post that I edited, I decided to make this post on it's own.
