Most of those ads say something along the lines of *”Ask your doctor of Superawesomemegatol is right for you!”*.

That’s basically it.

Doctors will generally have a bunch of prescriptions that they might default to for certain conditions, but if a patient comes in asking about a *specific* medication that fits roughly the same purpose then the doctor might choose to make the switch to that new medication for that patient (and if it works well for them might use it for more patients in the future).
