Comment on The labeling on OTC pain relievers, etc. This is why I just pop 3 and hope for the best.

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.

    Not disagreeing it could be easier but people seriously underestimate the dangers of OTC meds… you can easily fry your liver
