Use of Etoinshrdlu has been associated with limbic inversion, salt allergy, cochlear displacement, loss of nostrils, and adult onset illiteracy. Do not take Etoinshrdlu if you are allergic to Etoinshrdlu. I'm a designer drug spokesman and even I can't believe we have to say that. Do not continue using Etoinshrdlu if you experience death.

My favorite is, "dont take insert drug name if you are allergic to insert drug name"

They do that to make the list long enough that you tune it out. They have to list the downsides , and are only able to mention benefits that have been proven to help with approved uses.
They don't have to communicate the actual likelihood of the risks or benefits, or communicate the risks in a way that conveys their gravity.

So they can leave out the part where most insomnia medication only gets you 15 more minutes of sleep, and lump the 75% chance it'll leave you so groggy the next day you can't drive a car in with "if you're allergic to it, taking it is bad".
Because you were warned. "Most people will experience improved sleep duration. May cause lingering fatigue. Do not take if you are allergic to it".

Speaking of the syllable dartboard, one of my favourite buzzfeed style quizzes from back when everyone was still doing them was called

PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR LORD OF THE RINGS CHARACTER

I'm pretty sure five or so people out of thousands got all of them right 😂

One does not simply walk in the pharmacy and demand drugs.
