The side effects often sound worse then the condition they are supposed to relieve.

We sometimes see those commercials re-used in the US:
"Wegovy has a story to tell!"
"OK ... what's the story?"
Wegovy dancers dance around a pharmacy but never explain what the medication does.

My Dad (an MD) and I have had numerous conversations about pharma ads over the decades. Neither of us is a fan.
From his side, it leads to patients demanding treatments that wouldn’t really be their best (or even a good or effective) option. It creates an illusion of being an informed patient in the minds of certain people. He’s had to fire patients who believed the ads over his considered treatment plans. (And yes, it’s gotten noticeably worse since 2016.)
From my end, it often needlessly adds $$$$ to the bottom line costs of developing pharmaceuticals. In one of my Econ classes, we were given an actual balance sheet that detailed one company’s report on getting a particular drug to market. Fully one half of the costs were for TV & magazine ads…for a drug that would NOT be released as an OTC, but would require a prescription. IOW, advertising directly to people who couldn’t independently buy the product.
