There’s no better way to reach an audience today than through social media — and Big Pharma is well aware of that.
The video-sharing platform TikTok, for example, is being flooded with videos of users testifying to wellness through prescription drugs, with hashtags like #adhd (22.3B views), #ozempic (675.1M views) and #wegovy (259.3M views) consistently trending as of late.
