(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.
Second hand and circumstantial, but a nurse I meet worked with patients with severe kidney damage. She claimed A LOT were frequent ibuprofen users that by the time they realized something was wrong it was too late. One of the worst ways to go.
Yeah, from what I can tell if you frequently use ibuprofen it can be a problem. I thought it was mostly stomach but I’m not a medical expert so some of the sources were difficult for me to understand. Maybe it’s kidneys too. Or maybe I’m completely mistaken.
