Just stupid

I hope you have read "Pharmaceutical naming" a previous blog.
I was watching The Price is Right for the first time with new Host Drew Cary... Not impressed. He is great and enjoy watching him on Who's line is it anyways and the Drew Cary show but wow, he stinks as a game show host. Anyways, most commercials during that show are for old people, including drugs. A new one, or at least one I have not seen before... Ready for it? Its naming is pure genius! No one could come up with a better name!

Enablex...

I rest my case.

Go with the flow. Flowmax!


Drugs are again the focus of a rant. This time its their commercials!
Every one has the EXACT same sequence! A person (or couple if a STD drug) looks glum and the sky is grey. Talking about the things they miss... Well, in comes (name of action associated with drug followed by XR, MAX, FS et cetera) and Que music! Usually a guitar or something uplifting. And usually bike riding on a sunny day, holding hands on the beach (if STD drug) chatting with friends... Then don't forget the side affect clause at the end which sometimes includes death or the original symptoms getting worse... Ah good times.
