ELi5: Medication Commercials

345 views

Why do commercials for medications always say “Don’t take if your allergic to this medication” How would you know if you’re allergic to something if you haven’t taken it or somehow encountered it previously? That always confused me ever since I was a kid.

It sounds like a CMA just in case someone uses the medication, has an allergic reaction, and then continues to use the medication with plans of suing the company for their subsequent health complications. If someone tried to sue the company, the company could just refer them to the ad and say, “look, we told them not to take the medication if they were allergic.”
