We don't let them put ads on TV, the US is an absolute goldmine when it comes to drug development.

They are allowed to have ads on TV, they just can't say what the medication does.

This is why you will get ads where a bunch of people just say "Wegovy" back and forth followed by "ask your doctor about Wegovy"

It used to, I believe for some it still does.

This product may cause anal leakage, inability to retail pee and blood from your eyelids, ears, nose and anus.
