the acetaminophen bottle... think they could put the dosage on it?

[MissMillie]

Seriously, was I supposed to keep the box?

Now I gotta look it up.



(I'd say this is me impersonating a whiny, sick person... but I am a whiny, sick person.)

1. Does the label peel away?

I've noticed the same issue with some OTC medications - you have to unfold/unpeel (?) the label in order to see the dosage and other info.

2. I have a drawer in my bathroom where I keep

the boxes from OTC medicine. I learned my lesson. I might be whiny but think I am more of a, “I am getting pissed about this person.”

3. I just recently noticed that. Not easy to read the fine print on the bottle. I suppose I have

to look if I ever want to take more than the usual two I take frequently.

4. If it's on the bottle, too small to read anyway.

And wouldn't one already have a headache?
If it's on the bottle, get a magnifying glass or camera app on your phone.

Two 500 mg. every 6 hours,
Limit 6/day normally.
Mayo Clinic says 8/day.

The new rule is to "look it up on the internet"
At least, pages and PDF's are readable.

I get out the magic marker and mark the dosage on bottles and expiration dates on food packages.

5. Black marker

write it on the bottles now. Apparently it is just too much to give you the info easily. Like everything else there is likely (but not understandable) a marketing reason for this. I hate storing things in their boxes so this is what I do with those that are too small to read and it looks like now it will be needed for most things. I keep masking tape and a marker for labeling food dates when I make batches. I think, perhaps, that would be a good idea for the medicine cabinet now as well.

6. Maybe you should switch to the Target brand. They have dosage right on front of the bottle.

7. Acetimetaphine is definitely a drug you should strictly follow rhe dosage on.

It is a large molecule, not easy for the liver to metabolize.
