I still find the adverts in the states bemusing. Can't say what a drug is designed to do, just tells you to ask your doctor about it.

That was true a few decades ago--right now you can say what a drug is for. (I'm sitting next to a TV showing a commercial for a drug which treats opioid induced constipation.)
Less than a decade ago, by my reckoning. Pretty sure there was a rash of ambiguous medications between 2007 and now. You're absolutely right about today's drug ads being too much information, of course.
Interesting - it's been nearly 10 years since I was last out!
