How is -0.5B -> 2.33B a -564% change?
Ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen/paracetamol (Tylenol). Take max dosage but alternate them. Read the bottle and don’t quote me, but it’s something like 800mg ibuprofen every 8 hours and 1000mg of paracetamol every 6. So take ibuprofen, 3-4 hours later take paracetamol, then back and forth. Do not exceed 2400/4000 or whatever your bottle says.
That’s the method I was taught to get the most/longest pain relief with OTC.
I agree that’s how math works, but by reporting a negative percentage with it colored red is misleading at best. Perhaps a better metric would be +/- |(percent change)| where + indicates profit growth and and - indicates profit reduction?
