Which of these is NOT included in 'adequate directions for use' on an OTC label?

  1. Dosing

  2. Color of medication

  3. Frequency

  4. Duration

The correct answer is: Color of medication

Adequate directions for use on an OTC label include important information about dosing, frequency, and duration of use. Color of medication, however, is not an important factor to include in these directions as it does not affect how the medication should be taken or the desired effect of the medication. Including color in the directions would not provide useful information to the consumer and could potentially cause confusion. Therefore, it is important to exclude color from the adequate directions for use on an OTC label.
