pharmaceutical ads

Medicine marketing spots

Pharmaceutical ads are advertisements for prescription or over-the-counter medications, typically on television or in magazines.

The United States and New Zealand are the only countries that permit direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs.

American pharmaceutical ads are recognizable for their powerful imagery paired with rapid-fire lists of potential side effects: Ask your doctor if Nexium is right for you.
