    We have them, but they’re not allowed to say what the drug is. So only certain drugs bother, like Ozempic, but entire commercial is just everyone asking “Have you heard about Ozempic?” “Talk to your doctor about Ozempic”

    They can’t say what it treats or side effects etc. I like old game shows from the 70s so I’ll sometimes pick up an IPTV sub so I can watch the US gameshow channel, and then cancel shortly after because all the commercials are either drug commercials on repeat or mesicaid commercials on repeat. Its terrible.

      I watched an over the air TV show recently, and they rolled an ozempic ad every single break. I would rather watch an hour of the save the children or ASPCA ads to be honest.
