单选题 Faced with large numbers of directions on a bottle of medicine, have you ever been at loss? Do you always know what "Take as directed" actually means? Try to read the following directions and ask yourself whether you can understand all of them.
In order to relieve pain, take two pills with water, then one pill every eight hours. As to early morning relief (缓解疼痛), take two pills at bedtime. Don't take over six pills in a single day, for every medicine has more or less side effects.

For those women who are pregnant, more attention if, appreciated. Do not eat any medicine at will unless it is permitted by your doctor.
Reduce the amount once you undergo either restlessness or sleeplessness after taking the pill.
