Okay, so I was watching TV and this commericial for some medicine came on. It went on with the usually corny dialogue along with what the medicine does and what the side affects are. The lady was going on saying them outloud as they were strolling by in small text below the screen. It went a little something like this: "May cause drowiness, nausea, headache, sleepiness and even death." DEATH? Why would I even take a medicine to help me get better if I might end up dying anyway.

well they are require to put that because it's a part of the law.
also, not a lot of people read the fine print so they wouldn't know about the side effects. also death may occur from taking the medicine if you take it excessively, right? i mean i don't think you'll drop dead if you took it a few times. lol |

QUOTE(manny-the-dino @ May 13 2008, 04:21 PM)  well they are require to put that because it's a part of the law. ^What Natalia said. I've heard that too, on the lapband system commercials. Though considering on how it functions, I'm not surprised they include that in their commercial. If they don't, they can be sued by potential people taking this medicine that may have died because of it. My brother is currently taking medicine that may cause death, but like Holly said, the good outweighs the bad, so it's a risk he decided to take. |
