Actually I think providing dosage information would *avoid* much more
harm
than it would cause. Most people use books on drugs to check up on their prescriptions and educate themselves. If the doctors mistakenly prescribed 200mg tablets when the standard
dosage
is 20mg, then I'm sure you'd want the person to be able to know that.
I would hope the pharmacist that filled the prescription would spot something like that. I'm not sure people second guessing their doctors will have a net benefit...
Just as likely that the pharmacist got it wrong, really.
