How many times a night as we watch "Regular TV" are we bombarded with multiple ads for medications we didn't know that we needed?
The most annoying by far is the song and dance one for Jardiance, a diabetes medication. I take that, and thank goodness I don't have the many side effects that quickly run across the screen. Two things happen to me, I have to pee quite a fee times a day, and sometimes it has a really bad odor to it.
I asked my doctor about that, and he said it was a normal circumstance to the medication. It's converting all the sugar in your system, and that's one reason for the frequent urination and odor.
Then there are the ones for Rinvoq and Humira, which are for psoriatic arthritis. These ads make you to not want to take them!
Then there are the ads for the diabetes medications that are being used for weight loss. I take Monjouro, starting at the 2.5 dose, going up to 5.0, 7.5 and now the 10.0 dose. I have lost about 30 pounds in over a year due to taking it, along with going to the gym 3 times a week.
Wegovy shows people singing and dancing in the street, saying how much weight they have lost. Look at the screen crawl about the side effects, and what you have to do to lose the weight. Diet and exercise are the key things. I have cut out a lot of junk food, but I still love my cookies, cakes, and other sweet stuff.
The most depressing ads are for the lung cancer pills. They are not a cure, but a life extender with so many side effects it makes me wonder are they worth it? My mother had lung cancer, and was on one of these medications that didn't do much for her. At the end, she decided to stop all treatment.
Now I watch the streaming services much more that don't inundate me with all these ads.
