The drug Plavix should not have to advertise. If someone needs to take it, a doctor should just give it to them without having it suggested by the patient because they happen to see a commercial on the wall mounted TV about it while recuperating--FROM THEIR HEART ATTACK.
If not, that's bad health care. What group of people are these? Had a heart attack, but didn't go to a hospital or see a doctor?
Or perhaps it's because their trying to scare the shit out of people who haven't had a myocardial infarction but have plenty of reason to be afraid. Plavix is tapping into the fear market that's ironically been developed by folks trying to do good and make people healthier.
