Germans know the sentence that ends most television commercials for medicines. Zu Risiken und Nebenwirkungen lesen Sie die Packungsbeilage und fragen Sie Ihren Arzt oder Apotheker. “For risks and side effects, read the package insert and ask your doctor or pharmacist.” The law on advertising for medicines requires it. The advertisement does not list the risks. It tells the viewer where to go and get the information. Since December 2023, the required wording has been gender-neutral: fragen Sie Ihre Ärztin, Ihren Arzt oder in Ihrer Apotheke.
