While I agree with most of your comments (we don't have prescription advertising in Australia but we do have advertising direct to health professionals) Restless Legs Syndrome is a real disease, one which I have as a side-effect of thyroid disease. The recommended pharmaceutical solution, though, is considerably more harmful than having the disease for most sufferers!
