Yeah, I get offended at all the medical ads these days. “We’ve got the cure for hangnails, possible side effects include kidney failure, dementia, stroke, heart attack and death”.
I sometimes think that these ads are psych tests – anybody who asks for the drug should be committed for being too stupid to be allowed to make any decisions.
When a company is testing a drug, there is a control group that gets a placebo (or the drug components with everything EXCEPT the active ingredient) and the test group. If even 1 more person in the test group reports a side effect, it has to be listed. It may not even have anything to do with the drug in question.

Ask your doctor if Folossinaxis is right for you.

5 out of 5 morticians recommend Flossinax as the medicine of choice for whatever affliction you are suffering.

you didn’t specify whose death, do I have to stop using it if a neighbor dies? Sounds like a potential lawsuit.

Hard to believe but, snake oil salesmen were only 100 years ago. The wild west was only yesterday.

Reminds me of the commercials on TV now… “Do not take this medication if you are allergic to it.”
