October 29, 2009Pristiq Ad Runs During World Series As Adverse Events Reports MountYes, that creepy ad for Pristiq with the woman staring at the wind-up doll has been running again during the ALCS and NLCS and now during game one of the World Series last night (won by the Phillies 6-1 over the Yanks with a big assist from former Mariner Raul Ibanez). It's bad enough having to sit through Cialis and Viagra ads during the Fall Classic, but anti-depressant ads, too? Hand me a beer instead. You see the ad here. Meanwhile, adverse events for the Son of Effexor continue to mount and stand at 1,361 adverse events reports in the FDA's database. That's good going for a drug that's been on the market two-plus years and that still is used so little that Pfizer (Wyeth's new owner) doesn't list third quarter 2009 sales figures for the drug.

I saw the ad last night during the game. So did my mother, father, sister and a cousin. And all called not a minute after the ad aired and begged me to tell my pdoc about this new wonder drug that could save me from my depression. Yeah, right I am sad. . Between the damn ad and my team being slaughtered, sure I am sad. But Pfizer got what they wanted, four well meaning but clueless (on this one), all think it will be my magic pill to save me. There are no magic pills, Not even, alas, chocolate. Tell your loved ones to head on over to the database link Philip provides and see if they still want to push it on you. I think it's great this data is available on line and I wish more members of the public would check it out before rushing to their doc to ask for a script.
