it was impossible to NOT share this one

When it comes to medication, what you don't know could kill you. Or cause eyelid droop, amnesia and decreased sweating. Match the drug to the safety information taken from its warning label. These 10 warnings on labels can be matched to the 10 prescription drugs pictured below


"Do not use if you are a woman."


"Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported."


"[In a small number of people] your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow."


"This product is harmful to humans if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin."


"Some patients tried to end their own lives. And some people have ended their own lives." (Hint: While Paxil also has been linked to an increase in suicidal thoughts in some children/teens, that's not what we're looking for here.)


"The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea."


"Serious risks include decreased sweating."


"Babies born to mothers who have taken [this drug] in the latter half of pregnancy have reported complications, including difficulties with breathing, turning blue, floppiness, stiffness, irritability or constant crying."


"Vision changes, such as seeing a blue tinge to objects or having difficulty telling the difference between the colors blue and green." Also, "An erection that won't go away."


"Gas with oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be hard to control."
