Don’t you think drug companies would be doing that (not advertise) if it would increase their profit?
Of course advertising increases their profit. It does that by increasing their revenue even more than the cost of the advertising.
For the rest of us, that giant increase in revenue is an increase in our healthcare costs.
Ah so sounds like your logic is: ban advertising -> less costs -> less revenue & lower patient costs -> same profit.
I think I can spot a flaw in that logic.
