Only two countries allow direct to consumer advertising of prescription 
drugs, USA and New Zealand. The ads are on Tv (including streaming) shows, 
magazines, and even posters in buses.

Geritol was the punchline of a lot of jokes particularly since it placed 
ass on shows like Lawrence Welk that catered to an older crowd. However it 
was an over the counter vitamin supplement. Since it was 12% alcohol it 
might even make people feel better but probably wouldn't kill them.
 I haven't seen a Geritol ad in years, Tums for Your Tummy anti-acid  
tablets or other OTC products. These ads are for prescription drugs, 
target highly specific conditions/diseases, and suggest you ask your 
doctor to prescribe them.

The list of side effects for some of the other stuff is longer, up to and 
including death.
