The paper discusses the problem of patients receiving prescription drugs, which they do not
actually need because they see
the advertising and demand that their doctors give them these drugs. The paper explores the positions of the American Medical Association and the Federal Drug Association. The author concluded that until the drug companies stop hiding the truth and exploiting their drugs, the federal government should do its best to control what the advertisements say and to eliminate
loopholes within the law, so that these ads will stop misinforming the public about what the drugs can
actually do.
