Disappointed that Boots have been running a misleading advert for their Dual Defence nasal spray. The previous ad had to be removed because it claimed to stop people catching colds, when in fact it is designed to reduce symptoms. Now they run a picture of people in space helmets instead, which clearly implies the same thing. The words "stop cold+flu" are much larger than the rest and are what you mainly notice - with the smaller words beneath not sufficient to give a truthful overall impression of the product.

I don't feel I can shop with a medicine retailer that doesn't respect evidence on the effectiveness of its medicines.
