(Generic label used for illustrative purposes)

Instead of having the directions clearly, consistently, and conveniently at the top, it’s expects you to unfurl the damn label like a scroll, read through the tiny print until you get to the directions and dosing information.

I’ve already got a headache. I don’t need to be squinting at this tiny text to try to find the one bit of relevant info I need. I just want my headache to go away for a while.

It’s not just aspirin, ibuprofen, etc. It seems like everything with a label is like this now.

    Please note that the maximum dose of paracetamol/acetominophen is 4 (4 x 1000mg) a day. You don’t want to take any more, because dying from that stuff isn’t pleasant and easily done.

      Exactly. And cut that in half if you’ve consumed any alcohol in the last ~12-24 hours.

      That’s the kind of information that should be front and center without having to search the tiny text in the whole label.
