After watching “Prescription Thugs” and “Top pro and Con Quote” the pharmaceutical industry has been making more of an impact on patients prescribed to over the counter drugs. Although pharmaceutical drugs can have its cons of why not to take it, it also has its pros. DTCA which is direct-to-consumer-advertisements can motivate patients to go to the physicians get regularly checked up and ultimately lead to caring about their health. Going to ones physicians can call attention to what needs to be prescribed, what catches the doctors attention, then is prescribed by a doctor. On the other hand there is also con to the previous example. For example, if one went to the physician for the condition of ADHD and gets prescribed to adderall to help focus, but then takes another type of pharmaceutical drug because of the effects of the adderall leading to taking an excessive amount of pain killers like narco, viagra, etrc. Personally, my stance on this issue is that if one has pain in the bones, if one is suffering of some kind of mental conditions like being bipolar, depressed or something that can hurt the overall health soon, then they should be prescribed pharmaceutical drugs because that person absolutely needs that to be healthy. I don’t agree however, with the abusing pharmaceutical drugs for stupid reasons, like in the movie “Prescriptions Thugs”, Chris someone who was abusing drugs for no reason, for just being addicted to them, he didn’t have a mental condition or disability. Before Chris ended up like his brother, which was dying from abusing over the counter drugs, realized it was wrong and very dangerous for his health in the long run and stopped right on time. Overall, Pharmaceutical prescriptions are dangerous on whose hands they land in, doctors shouldn’t be blamed for ones abuse.
