Which Drug Is Which? Who Decides?

What we don't know, though, is how accurate the drug ads we're seeing are. Are drug companies just trying to sell lots of product or are they truly trying to help us? How can we really know?

For instance, just last month, Pfizer withdrew advertising they'd been running for Lipitor involving a Dr. Robert Jarvik. Apparently there were a number of misleading facts presented in that ad that would unduly influence consumers to ask for a prescription to Lipitor.

I don't know... I'm torn. On the one hand, I want information about allergy and asthma treatment. And I want access to the newest and the most effective drugs. But I DON'T want to have to mortgage my home to get them.
