One in three adults struggle with medication dosing, survey finds

Improper medication dosing can result in adverse health effects, treatment failures, and potential hospitalizations among affected adults.

Across age, income, and education, roughly one in three American adults cannot reliably determine the correct dose of their own medications — a finding that reframes what we often call a personal failing as a systemic one. The instructions exist, the labels are printed, and yet the gap between written guidance and human understanding remains wide enough to send people to emergency rooms. This is less a story about carelessness than about the quiet distance between how medical information is communicated and how ordinary people actually receive it.
