Because they’re super expensive and it doesn’t take many people to make some serious money.

Your doctor is probably aware of these drugs and the MUCH cheaper alternatives that are as effective (or almost as effective). He assumes that you care about money and prescribes you the cheaper equivalent drug. You eventually come back complain that you are not happy with the results of the cheaper medication he prescribed to you (because nothing works perfectly) and mention to the doctor the cool new drug with the catchy jingle your recently saw on the TV. The doctor tells you it is cool, but not much more effective that the drug he is already prescribing to you. You tell him nonsense! This drug has to be better that’s why it’s on TV. The doctor will eventually give you the prescription because it’s your money and you are free to waste it if you want.
