Stupid questions...

On a bottle of medicine I've got:

 

"Take one tablet three times daily".

 

My stoopid question:

 

How?

 

Really - take the same tablet three times? Over and over? Are you supposed to barf it up every time in order to be able to take it again? That's gonna be a bit of a soggy pill come dinner time.

I wondered about much the same thing when I read my prescriptions after recent surgery - but my medication posed an additional problem. The one had to be taken "every six hours after meals" and the other "every eight hours after meals". I don't know if they're doing any good - but at this rate I'll certainly need a diet once I'm done...

Well, you could get really stoopid and question why you have to divide the one pill in thirds in order to maintain the regimen.
