Your prescription bottle should have the name of the drug and the amount to be taken for each dose on the label. If your doctor has the bad habit of just putting "as directed" on an Rx ASK him/her to have the pharmacist list EXACTLY how you should use this particular drug. If you are not feeling well it is very easy to only half-listen to instructions in the office. What I mark on the lid is the date to call for a refill. That way whenever I pick up the bottle I can readily see if it can be refilled, and, if so, WHEN to call. I go a step beyond & mark my personal calendar, too, so I won't run out of heart medications, etc.

Doesn't your pharmacy print that info on a label that is affixed to the bottle? Mine does!
