Subject: medicine labeling

    I would like to make a suggestion about labeling on over-the-counter drugs. I have grand-children who stay with me in the day time and sometimes overnight. More than once, I have had to get up in the middle of the night to give one of them a fever reducer. The dosage recommendation is printed so small,that I have to put on my glasses and also use a magnifying glass to read them.My vision is not any worse than the average 50 year old. I only need reading glasses for everything else.I find it very frustrating to be worried  with a sick child and have to go to so much trouble just to read the label.
Has this issue ever been addressed before?
    Thanks for letting me vent my anger!
