I don’t recall what the drug was, but the other day a commercial was listing a bunch of the side effects of taking the drug, and the last thing they mentioned was ‘an unhealthy feeling.’ ??? – Amazingly vague.
Two things that I find absurd in drug commercials:
1. “If you have any of these symptoms, back acne, zombie zits, …, or sudden death, notify your doctor or health care professional immediately.” Sudden death, huh? How do you do that when you’re “suddenly dead”?
2. The pretend ingredients or actions that they make up “scientific” names for. “Try [fill in the drug/product], it’s got hexochlorenastain!”
My favorite are the depression drugs that are advertised to take with an antidepressant. And then the side effects may be suicidal tendencies. How about less drugs and more outdoor activities not involving social media.

There are some new drugs around where they ask if you have tried a certain drug yet, but they don’t tell you what the drug is for.

Both sound pretty bad,Lola. Maybe a tall beer would help.

They are always advertising those medicines without even telling you what they’re for. Why would you ask your doctor about some random drug?

I always like the warning to not take the drug if you are allergic to it.

I don’t remember which drug commercial ended their long list of side effects with “If you die, be sure to let us know”.
