I Don't Want to Know the Side Effects

Did you know there's a new drug that treats acid reflux, which is called Aciphex? And that it's pronounced the same as "ass effects"?

Now, the drug industry is handicapped in its advertising, since it has to disclose side effects in every commercial. So why make it even worse by naming the drug "ass effects"?

Aciphex was approved by the FDA in 1999... you've missed ten years of hilarity!

I have taken this drug and it works but now switched to Prevacid which is over the counter!

Haha! Prevacid is probably better - if only because you can actually tell people you're taking it without snorting.
