If you have a pack of paracetamol for example which is split in two rows, do you take two tablets which are on the same side or one from each side?

settle a debate please as to which way is the “normal” way.

I'd take one from each

TokyoSushi · 25/04/2023 22:31

Two next to each other from the same side.

One from each side.

The first normal way (one either side)

But I married someone who only takes one, not for any medical reason it is just a quirk

I am very random with it I won’t lie! Never stopped to think but I do either depending on the day

vodkaredbullgirl · 25/04/2023 22:46

1 each side

What's the point? It won't be a therapeutic dose he may as well pop a sweetex

I take many tablets and dispense them all into days of the week tablet boxes once a week.
I actually get cross at myself if I get a bit distracted and pop a tablet out randomly or from the ‘wrong’ side instead of going neatly down the same side.

OliviaFlaversham · 25/04/2023 22:49

Two from anywhere.

ExtremelyDetermined · 25/04/2023 22:51

Random, never given it a moment's thought.

PinkCast · 25/04/2023 22:52

One from either side, I didn't know anyone used one side then the other.
At certain times of the month though I take 3 at a time to stop period pains from taking hold, because once it does it's much harder to dull the pain (at least so it feels to me).

Exactly

I actually just take two random ones and then I pop the plastic bit back out so next time I need a tablet I have to work out which ones are empty 🙃 I don't know why I make life harder for myself I just do OK 😂

Mindovermatter247 · 25/04/2023 23:07

One from each side…

Annoyingwurringnoise · 25/04/2023 23:07

One from each side.

FrangipaniBlue · 25/04/2023 23:11

Same side

Alloveragain3 · 25/04/2023 23:21

Completely at random. Like an animal.
