Hey guys,

What are are some prescription misinterpretations you guys have heard of? For example, "Take once a day" being misinterpreted as being take 11 a day since "once" is also 11 in spanish. Feel free to list any you know!

Heard a story of a guy that came back the next day after picking up a stock bottle of some drug. He was asking when he could eat again, complaining he was starving. The dessicant package said "do not eat"

 

[Vitamin K]

I had a lady two days ago tell me that she has a yeast infection, but she hasn't taken her Diflucan because the packaging says she shouldn't drive after taking it and she has to get to work and take her kids to daycare. She thought she couldn't drive until her yeast infection was gone if she took the meds!
