VIagra or Ed ads....looks like when you have the lion's share of the market you can advertise generically as PFE is and still receive the benefits without having to disclose side effects in your advertising... with all the attention....I am sure at this time PFE is seeing a stain on its' once pure Viagra image...... In defense of PFE I don't think any drug company likes to advertise their product then have to place side effects in the same ad... what about CHrysler..hey by our minivan , but the back door can pop open on light impact and your kids and the dog will roll out the back onto the pavement.....think you would see that in print??
