It’s called DTC advertising (Direct to Consumer). And, you’re right. USA is only country in Western Hemisphere where this is a thing.
Docs in America soundly rejected it in 80’s, then marketers and advertisers got the best of them, and now we have ads everywhere saying to ask your doc about yada yada yada.

Most of the rest of the world doesn’t allow competition either. The government picks the drugs doctors are allowed to use. A commie’s wet dream
