Sneaking Ads of Drugs

One of the most important ‘marketing trick’ is ‘the commercials of illnesses’ in the pharmaceuticals sector. Because commercials of drugs are forbidden in Turkey as well as in many other countries. How can the drug companies trespess the laws?

There are a lot of ways to do it. ’selling the illnesses’ is maybe the most effective and the most employed one among all other ‘marketing tricks’.

As you realized as well, in every newspaper, magazine or television, we see some expert talking about only one illness at the same time for the same time. Then the illness is getting popular and many people start worrying about themselves: Reflux, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, allergy etc.

You will easily meet someone on the street if you go and ask: “Do you have any complain about your stomach?”, the people would probably say: “Yes, I have reflux.” Probably these are the people who have been having reflux treatment for months.

However, 10 - 15 years ago there were different illnesses like gastric ulcer, duodenum wounds, gastrisis. No one would know the name of Reflux, even the doctors. Somehow something happened and suddenly reflux became such popular that all other illnesses like influenza, hepatitis, tuberculous fell into disfavor and unpopular. The Reflux is a new trend.

In fact, Reflux is not the name of an illnesses; it’s just a syndrome. It describes the situation in some people who experience a high acid from their stomach after a meal. If this acidity lasts long, then the esophagus becomes inflamed. If it happens, you can name the situation as an illness.
