Are You Smart? or Are You Dumb?

Through the magic of TiVo I have recorded the detailed warnings about a Very Popular Pill that is being advertised heavily on TV these days…

  • Increases the chance of heart attack or stroke which can lead to death.
  • The risk of heart attack increases if you have heart disease or high blood pressure.
  • All of the above risk factors increase if our medication is taken for a long period of time.
  • Increases the chance of skin irritations.
  • Increases the chance of allergic reactions.
  • Increases the chance of stomach or intestine problems such as bleeding ulcers which can occur without warning and may cause death.
  • Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
  • Don’t take our pill if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestines or have an asthma attack or hives, other allergies to aspirin and sulfonamides.
  • Get help right away if you begin having swelling of the throat, the face or have trouble breathing.

There was a tag on the bottom of the screen at about this point in the ad warnings that said...

“Including ulcers or bleeding or intestines, kidney or liver problems, or heart failure.”

I guess this must be called an Etcetera Warning.

The subject of this Foolishness...Or Is It? was...

Are You Smart? or Are You Dumb?

I will know the answer to this question if you contact me asking for the name of this Very Popular Pill because you are very anxious to start taking it.
