読む前に：「錠剤、粉薬、カプセル、塗り薬」の違いが分かりますか。 Tip for reading medicine bag: 3 numbers always go together — １回（how many pills at a time）・１日（how many times a day）・いつ（time: 食後・食前・寝る前）. To avoid being trapped, quickly draw a table: which medicine × when to take it. Vocabulary: 錠剤 tablet / カプセル small pill / 粉薬 powder / 塗り薬 topical medicine. ※ The side of the medicine bag in the book is an image; The content below has been reconstructed to match the book's answers.
