There's a reason when you get those drugs from your doctor, that they have very clear instructions as to how to use them. If you can read you can follow the instructions correctly. Liver damage and overdose happens when people ABUSE it, and most of the people don't abuse it. Punishing all for the faults of some. Fucking government rats.

there's also a reason why doctors are usually pretty good about explaining things. same with many pharmacists. it's not often i need to go to a doctor (it's been many years), but when i do go in (and if i need medicine), the doctors are pretty good about making sure that i'm given instructions.

on the rare occassion i have to fill a prescription, the pharmacists are good about explaining things, as well.

while most medications can be followed if you have a 2-digit IQ, doctors and pharmacists don't like to leave anything to chance. they like to make sure that you know understand the instructions, perfectly.

in most cases, you just have to have common sense.....which is sorely lacking in the world, today.
