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.
