Opinion: Banning direct-to-consumer drug ads won’t work
RFK Jr. has long called for a ban on drug ads entirely. That seems unlikely — but reform is possible.
As a reformed hypochondriac, I’m extremely vulnerable to the allure of pharmaceutical ads. I self-referred for GLP-1s years ago after seeing advertisements, and even though I am a diabetic, what followed were horrific health outcomes: hospitalizations, extensive procedures, scans, MRIs, pancreatitis, anemia, and thousands in medical expenses.
So I understand why new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long called for a ban on pharmaceutical advertisements on TV.
