An infographic that explains how a teaspoon can lead to an under-dose or overdose of up to 80% of a dosing cup. The infographic is divided into three sections.
The first section on the left side of the image shows a red teapot with a white label that reads "1.5% 5.0". The label also mentions that the teaspoon can be used to measure an excessive dose when using a dose cup even more terrifying. The second section shows a close-up of a blood vessel with a red liquid inside. The third section shows that 35% of patients drank straight from the bottle. The text on the infographic explains that if excessive dose hydrocodone can result in respiration depression and its normal use may impair motor skills and judgment. The FDA recently removed nearly 200 unapproved prescription cough medicines containing hydrocodone from the market due to reports of medication errors and confusion. The background of the infographic is black and the text is white.
