The most advertised drugs

I just got in - a bit late and don't have the extra time to pontificate regarding the following link. It notes the five most advertised drugs of the past year and the millions of dollars the drug companies spent to do so. Advertising, as in, direct to consumer.
Two psychotropic drugs are listed, one for depression and the other schizophrenia. Of course there is an erectile dysfunction drug and then the cholesterol lowering drug that is about to be hit hard by generic competition and lastly an asthma drug.

Here is the link.
