The font size of the instruction manual is small.
In recent years, many people have shared the same feeling: pill boxes are getting bigger, but they contain fewer drugs and the font size of the instructions is getting smaller. This has led to questions and discussions about the design of pharmaceutical packaging and instructions. Why is the font size of the manual getting smaller and smaller, which brings trouble to people?
First of all, we need to note that one of the reasons why the font size of the instruction manual has become smaller is to save paper and cost. With the gradual improvement of environmental protection awareness, more and more pharmaceutical companies have begun to pay attention to sustainable development and reduce the use of waste paper. The font of the shrinking script can reduce the amount of paper, thereby reducing the production cost, which is in line with the economic interests of the enterprise.
Secondly, the font size is also related to the requirements of pharmaceutical packaging design. The size of the pill box is usually determined by the aesthetics of the outer packaging and the market demand, not just the number of drugs. Larger pill boxes can provide a larger display area for businesses to carry out various publicity and identification. Therefore, the design of the pill box size is often related to marketing strategy and brand image.
The box is big and the medicine is less. 
In addition to the problem of small fonts in the instructions, the fact that the pill box is getting bigger and bigger, but the drugs inside are getting smaller and smaller, which also raises questions. This can be related to a variety of factors.
First, some pharmaceutical products may have a high concentration of the active ingredient and require very little drug to work. To ensure the stability and safety of the drug, a business may choose to use a smaller kit with a clear indication of the dosage for each use in the instructions.
Secondly, some drugs may be special drugs of ** value, and the manufacturing cost is higher. To reduce costs and provide affordability**, businesses may reduce the number of medications while packaging them in smaller pill boxes.
How to deal with these problems?
Faced with the problem of smaller fonts in the instructions and fewer pills in the pill box, consumers can take some measures to better cope:
1.Read the instructions carefully: Although the font size is small, read the instructions carefully and patiently to understand the method of administration and dosage. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
2.Keep the original packaging of the drug: Although the box may be larger, it is best to keep the original packaging material of the drug in order to keep it safe and effective. This avoids confusion or damage.
3.Communicate with your doctor: If you are confused or dissatisfied with the size of the pill box or the font of the instructions, you can communicate with your doctor and seek other feasible alternatives or options.
To sum up, the problem of smaller fonts and fewer pill boxes is partly due to environmental and economic considerations, as well as the impact of market demand and brand strategy. As consumers, we should be rational and patient, read the instructions carefully, consult a doctor, and take appropriate measures to deal with these problems. At the same time, it is also hoped that pharmaceutical companies can pay more attention to user experience when designing drug packaging and instructions, ensure the convenience and safety of drug use, and improve consumer satisfaction.
