Still find it weird you guys have adverts on tv for medication.

I went to a hotel and watched cable recently and it’s, no joke, 85%+ drug commercials. Just endless ads with disgusting side effects read over happy images.

Even living in the US (but being on Lemmy and therefore knowing computers and hating advertising) getting stuck watching cable TV at a relative’s house can be a real “boring dystopia” experience. It can be genuinely disturbing when you realize the majority of the ads you’ve seen were for ONLY medication and gambling.

Who do you even advertise to in the UK if you want to sell your new med? 🤔 Is there like a specific person sitting in the NHS whose job it is to scout for new drugs?
