Adults & Children Over 12: Take 2 Caplets - Another reason why diet meds don't work!
Something is awry in Dodge City....

Here we are in the New Millennium and our over-the-counter medication practices are down-right scary! Think about it....
According to the directions of most pain medications, a 12 year old youngster that may weigh 100 pounds (or less) is directed to take as much medicine as a grown man who might weight 300 pounds or more. It's not only dangerous, it's nuts. The same dispersion method applies to over-the-counter cough, cold, nausea and allergy medications - as well as diet pills and frills.
Again, this requires a bit of thought. Is everyone trying to lose the same amount of weight? Of course not! So then....why should someone who is shooting to lose 150 pounds take the same amount of 'magic pill' as someone who is shooting to lose 10 pounds? My, all these pills must be very strong to achieve such balance results. Or, perhaps they are 'smart pills'? Definitely not!!
It's even scarier when you take into consideration that acetaminophen can damage the liver if the dosage is too high and - Ibuprofen can damage the kidneys if the dosage is too high.
So what's a body to do when one is sick, especially when one of the little ones becomes ill?
Until labeling procedures are pulled out of the Dark Ages and updated to the current century (i.e. according to a person's current weight), call your doctor and get his recommendations for dosage.
And as for those over-the-counter diet pills, you don't need them! Save your hard earned $$$, walk a bit each day to get your heart pumping and make healthy diet choices. Losing any unwanted weight, as well as strengthening your body, will help ensure that you'll need to worry a little less about how much medication to take because you'll be in tip-top health!
Do it for you, you wonderful person you!!
