Where do I start.
Take 2 TABLET orally three times a day for 3 days if there is pain.
Okay, so, it's like near midnight, I have a splitting headache, and I need some acetaminophen. I have a bottle, someplace, but I can't find it in the dim light. So I revert to the stuff they gave me over an unfortunate motorbike incident involving Wild Turkey in a foreign country. But that is neither here nor there. I pop a tab out. I look at the directions. It is a freaking big tablet. It is really hard to swallow. I finally manage to get it down. Then, I notice the one key word that I missed in the dim light.
Effervescent tablet.
I mean, to me, take 2 TABLET orally means put 2 TABLET in your mouth and swallow them. It does not mean dissolve 2 TABLET in a glass of water, let it dissolve and drink it.
Let's skip to Aunt Marge. Skip to about the last third if you are time bound. This... was happening. At first, I thought I was going to be okay. Then, a few minutes later, this time face down in the throne. The force of the outgoing stomach contents was of such force I was afraid it was going to break the toilet. I'm not sure drinking that glass of water was tactically a good decision.
If you're in a hurry, and feel like you need to skip the solubation (is that a word? It is now) process, I would highly not recommend it.
