Confusing Packaging

Updated

The blister packs of "Crestor" are confusing. Each pack contains 15 pills that start on a Sunday and end up with a "Take this pill last", which also happens to be a Sunday. So I have finished one complete blister pack and the next pack says "Follow daily sequence", which also starts with a Sunday.
I hope I've explained myself clearly as the packaging IS confusing.

Those are actually just supposed to be starter packs to get someone in the habit of taking them and up to the correct dosage, if they are being titrated up.

You really don't have to start it on a Sunday, nor do you have to start the next part of the pack on a Sunday, the pills have no way of knowing what day of the week it is, when you take them and neither does your body.

Learn more Crestor details here.

Just continue taking daily, as you are supposed to and don't worry about what's marked on the package.

Are there any other questions I can help with?

Thanks Verwon.
I kind of thought that it didn't matter on which day I started or finished but it is odd the way they lable them.

Cheers.
