But do they use it? Or the drug company and the celebrity just want to make more money? I trust Gaga so I think she does use the medicine, but this my thought process in general 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct to consumer advertising for prescription medication has more ways it can go wrong than right especially when money is the main motivation. You end up in a situation where pharmaceutical companies are pushing medications with potentially significant side effects onto as many people as possible even going to the lengths of getting a global superstar to promote it like we see here. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromaticaBoy 800 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Just noticed that the footage for the first Nurtec ad is from the San Francisco night, not the LA night! I was casually watching this and suddenly my mind was like: “I know what it’s like to perform through pain”😂 Edited April 11 by ChromaticaBoy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knew enough to make a pathetic attempt to avoid the law. Gaga's not some dumb 18 yr old. She's an adult business woman who is involved with multiple pharmaceutical companies & runs her own make up business that operates in EU nations. She's also extensively toured the EU. And it's not a sudden thing that medications have high restrictions on advertisments outside of the US. There's been countless internet threads on multiple social networks about the difference in medication advertisements in the US & rest of the world since social media began. Meta do have every power to moderate their own platform - but much like the EU laws referenced in the links provided in this thread - they are reactive, not proactive. Which means they can only be applied once posted. Whether or not they are strong enough to be of use in relation to the varying laws governing the space Meta operates in is irrelevant to the law's applicablity to the poster of such content. The law applies to both through differing means - Meta is at risk for failing to moderate content in relation to the law, Gaga & Nurtec are at risk for breaching advertising standards set out in the law.

Fantina 3,270 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I am not a huge fan of celebrities promoting medication so I am fine with this decision tbh Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M i K E Y 7,289 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Good. Love Gaga with all of my heart but prescription drugs isn’t just a thing celebs should advertise like makeup, beverages or clothing. I can believe these pills might have helped her but medication is a doctor to patient thing and not a: hey you have a headache? Try these expensive pills and you’re good again NO DUCT TAPE - NO MISSON 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as adversiments are known to create needs that otherwise we wouldn't have (or we would have waaaay less often). As long as it's about a new potato chips' flavour, that's good... but if it's about pills: ew. Especially for things like migraines, where the doctor can't easily (and scientifically) be sure that the patient is not actually ill or that ill... It's a complex topic.
