Do people actually listen to all of the side effects of advertisements for RX commercials?

There is a constant bombardment of commercials of active and healthy Actors portraying happy and now-hale people, devoid of any maladies being addressed. These ads are on the upswing over the airwaves.
‘Insty-Cure’!
However, within these advertisements, the voiceover begins to recite all of the dire reactions to the product that may be applicable to any user. Notice the lessening of the crescendo in action and background music as it fits around the possible consequence-portion of the ad? It picks up tempo after the serious business. Or that the serious description of negative results is presented at a slightly faster paced banter than “what a wonderful world will be like” with the useage of their product.
I understand that the commercials for such drugs are for those suffering the very most from the addressed malady. Chronic illness is hell. I get that. However, by listing such side-effects, this doesn’t signal that just one out of a goodly number of people in the pharmaceutical study group had these horrible side effects occur. Do people hear or listen to these warnings? The main message ideal is for the sufferers to “ask your doctor”. But are these ads exploiting the public’s awareness to pressure their physician’s course of treatment prescribed?
The Drug Companies are blanketing doctors with samples, information, pens, cups, toys, you name it. Are commercials really needed? Who hears the downside of hope? Those suffering?
