https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Pharmaceutical-Ads-Question/m-p/359327#M150928 <P>I've been pondering.....why do they have to state, and repeat (at least a couple of times during the ads), the long "scientific" (sorry, can't think of the correct term) name of the medication. Anyone know? Is it a legal requirement? (Just saw it on a Botox ad, but I've seen it on several others.) Has it always been that way and I'm just now noticing?</P> Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:22:48 GMT Krimpette 2013-09-21T16:22:48Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Pharmaceutical-Ads-Question/m-p/359327#M150928 <P>I've been pondering.....why do they have to state, and repeat (at least a couple of times during the ads), the long "scientific" (sorry, can't think of the correct term) name of the medication.
