It seems like there are too many medicines on the market that do the exact same thing. Think about it. There are like a million headache medicines. There are another million for heartburn and heartburn’s retarded cousin, acid reflux. My mom’s doctor says she has that. I’m not going to argue with him. After all, he’s a doctor. I’m just saying that it seems like it’s a little overblown.
Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that there are too many overpriced medications that seem to do the exact same thing. For instance, I just saw a commercial that prompted this blog. It was for another acid reflux medicine called AcipHex, pronounced “ass fx.” Is that not the dumbest name for any product that you’ve ever heard? I wonder what the production meeting for that product was like. There was definitely no one under thirty there.
Regardless of all the names and everything, I figure that they at least drive the prices down due to competition. So, that’s one good thing. It still kind of sucks it takes an hour to pick out an over the counter medication. Like I said before, at least it’ll be somewhat inexpensive.
