Before Elion and the groups she worked with the world did not know much about medicines and treatments for diseases. A chemist named Gerhard Domagk discovered Prontosil, which is a dye that killed streptococcus bacteria, or strep throat (Encyclopedia.com). Also at this time “sulfa” drugs were created. They help fight a wide variety of disease yet they had some side affects like kidney failure, skin lesions, and high fever. Eventually the use of these drugs was stopped because it was found to be dangerous (Encyclopedia.com).…
At the beginning of the 1980s, the majority of the governments were resentful of DTC advertising. Therefore, prescription drugs could only be advertised in medical journals and health care publications dedicated to physicians (Frosch; Grande, 2009). However, in 1983 Food and Drugs Administration commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes requested for independent evaluation of DTC advertising following concerns from pharmaceutical industry players. In 1985, FDA gave the green light to FDA advertising (Frosch; Grande, 2009).…

As long as advertising is legal, people will continue to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Both products are glamorized by the advertising they receive, and both products target people at an early age to secure their economic status. An essay by Jean Kilbourne called “Addiction as a Relationship,” illustrates how advertisement is used to lure people into using cigarette products, or alcoholic beverages to enhance their relationships, stimulate their friendships, and fill the gap of having no romantic relationship what so ever. There is also a video called “Deadly Persuasion,” by the Media Education Foundation. This video offers information about how the media targets people, by enticing them to use tobacco and alcoholic beverages, while offering statistical data to support these claims.…

For many years, it was considered a drug in search of a disease because it was not developed for any one particular cure. It wasn’t until 1920 when it was being researched more seriously and then started being used as medication from antidepressants to anti-congestants. Later in the 1930’s it was being sold as Benzedrine, as a nasal spray for congestion. By 1937 amphetamine began to be sold as medication in a tablet form. It is believed that…

What a skeletal wreck of man this is. Translucent flesh and feeble bones The kind of temple where the whores and villians try to tempt the holistic tomes Running rampant with free thought to free form in the free and clear And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundromat to sift and focus on the bigger, better, now We all have a little sin than needs venting virtues for the rending and laws and systems and stems a rift from branches of office do you know what your post entails? Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve? Wind down inside of your atavistic allure the value of a Summer spent and a Winter earned For the rest of us there is always Sunday. the day of the week that reeks of rest but all we do is catch our breath so we can wade naked into the bloody pool and place our hand on the big black book. To watch the knives zig-zag between our aching fingers. A vacation is a count-down T minus your life and counting time to drag your tongue across the sugar-cube and hope you get a taste what the FUCK is all this for?! What the hell's goin' on?! SHUT UP!! I could go on and on, but, lets move on shall we? Say, you're me and I'm you and they all watch the things we do and like a smack of spite they threw me down the stairs - haven't felt like this in years - the great magnet of malicious magnanamous refuse let me go and plunge me into the dead spot again. That's where you go when there's no-one else around its just you and there was never anyone to begin with now was there? Sanctomonious pretentious dasterdly bastards with their thumb on the pulse and a finger on the trigger CLASSIFIED MY ASS! thats a FUCKING secret and you know it!

An American citizen would find it difficult to settle in and watch television programming that does not include multiple advertisements for this, that, or the other, prescription drug. Some might say why not, prescription medication is a product like anything else. The answer lies, quite simply, in the overwhelming negative effects of Big Pharmas’ direct to consumer advertising. Given these overwhelming negative effects, the federal government should revisit this policy thereby improving the lives and health of Americans. The negative effects of DTCAs are straining relationships between physicians and patients, misinforming, corrupting,…
