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.

It is scary to buy anything after watching TV unless the big o has ordered us to do so.
