    Yikes! The use of the term “packet” was initially confusing to me. Here in the States it’s not uncommon to see small packets of a single dose of over the counter medicines in gas stations and convenience stores for when you’re not at home and something comes up. The directions for extra strength Tylenol are 2 every 6hrs (1000mg dose) not exceeding 3 doses per day.

    I was thinking “4 packets over 3 days, what’s the big deal?”

      they sell blister packs for tyelenol, but its usually thr brand name, which is pretty expensive.
