That proposal aimed to make commercials present drug risks in a manner that consumers notice and understand.

Drug ads have long been controversial. Aside from New Zealand, the United States is the only country that allows drug makers to advertise to consumers. Critics of drug ads say they pose consumer safety concerns by bombarding the public with promotions that distract viewers from potential side effects. Drug companies say commercials spark conversations between patients and doctors that promote clinically beneficial prescribing.
