You're doing something VERY wrong if you don't read whatever is written on your pill's instructions!

- H8crilA 4y agoKind of yes, but you usually either a) get instructions from the doctor, or b) have already read the instructions for this drug before.
- csunbird 4y agoIt depends on the medicine! For example, I have a medicine that I take regularly, and to reduce the amount of doctor visits, my doctor just prescribes me several months of medicine in one giant box. The box contains smaller boxes of the medicine and they all come with the same description paper - all 30 boxes! I have read that paper 100 times already, there is no need for me to read it anymore.
- elzbardico 4y agoMedicine inserts were my reading material at the bathroom before smartphones were invented.
- laci37 4y agoMost people take familiar medcine. I won't read the instructions in the n+1th pack of ibuprofen I'm buying.
- MengerSponge 4y agoInstructions? Sure. But those inserts also can include lots of information on pharmacokinetics and far more technical details about the drug's method of action. I need to know when/how to take the drug, for how long, and what side-effects to look out for. Basically the rest is irrelevant to me.
