    what if my week start on Monday?

    Also there's one day missing because you don't count the first Monday or something, I don't remember

    Look, the important thing is that if you're working out every other day, you aren't overdoing it by going 4-5 days a week.

    Then you are incorrect, indexes start at 0

    Week starts on Monday in ISO8601, and developers like ISO8601 so this is also the case in most programming languages by default. In some programming languages, it varies by locale.

    edit: also, Sunday is part of the weekend, not the weekstart.

    but why would Sunday be 0 and why would we include Sundays in the week-ENDs?

    The real kicker is escitalopram is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorders.

    It’s just Lexapro

    Edit: whoever downvoted me, look at my damn prescription:

    And lexapro is just a brand name for escitalopram

    No, I can see why they did it that way. It’s because they hate you.

    Maybe it's to force you to read it so you're paying attention

    I mean, it just goes in a circle but thursday is centered because the text had to be visible, really feels like the last effort job tho

    Is it possible the doses for the top 4 days are the same and then the other three are different and it’s easier for the machine to fill them that way so it’s just labeling?

    Start on Thursdays for an outward spiral or Friday for an inward

    7 is not divisible by 2, and the package designer wouldn't settle for anything non symmetrical, so they took the playing card layout.

    Maybe there week started on a Sunday instead of a Monday. It makes it a BIT more logical

    The longer I look at it the worse it gets!

    The packaging printer was probably running their annual "print it out of order intentionally sale" where customers can receive up to 15% off new packaging-print packages, given the text is randomly switched around at the printers discretion.

    If they are all the same then does it even matter what day of the week each pill is taken?

    Yes.. for some it is difficult to remember whether medication for the day has already been taken.

    All my medicines are in pill bottles, so the way I solved this is by flipping the bottle upside down after I take it, then flipping it back around when I get up in the morning. If I see it the right way up then I know I haven't taken it yet for the day.

    But what if you take it and forget to flip the bottle?

    It's a way of helping people easily identify and verify whether or not they've taken the pill for the day. "Did I remember to take my medication this morning? Oh right, today is Tuesday. Must not have."
