(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.
The main issue the OP is saying is how tiny the text is, and that it’s hidden in the middle of a sea of text. You only take medicine when you’re feeling like shit, so having to squint and find information that is vital to your health is a tad annoying. RIP to anyone with dyslexia, poor eyesight, hangover/drunk, etc. trying to read these labels quickly or in pain.
I do get this point; however, if you have trouble finding or reading this info, it is probably unsafe for you to take any medicine without assistance
Have you never had a medicine bottle that you needed to get a fingernail under a tiny tab to unstick some adhesive to get to the dosage? Do you think everyone who doesn’t have fingernails should just have to guess? Do you think everyone with vision impairment should NEED assistance to find the number of fucking Advil to take? Give me a break.
Make it so the directions are clearly visible without extra steps.
