Why does American TV have 2 minute adverts for medications

Keep seeing adverts for prescription medications where there’s 30 seconds of positive info then 2 minutes if side effects being listed, most being fatal whilst happy stock footage of people doing normal people things plays.

Why is This even a thing lol.

You can buy 100 paracetamol, its called acetaminophen in a big ass tub dude. Just buy 5 tubs and bring it back, never buy paracetamol again.

If you're a heroin user you can buy naloxone and reverse your own overdose.

We have bought a tub of 300 Advil because we bought a tub once and it lasted us like 4+ years.

A lot of companies you see advertising here have spent a lot of money buying votes in the US Senate and Congress. Not limited to just pharmaceutical brands either

It's the same in any country that has privatised health-care because it's a business. In Poland, you constantly have creams, pills and whatever else being advertised for every pain you could imagine
