If directions are unclear, ask the person writing the prescription or the pharmacist to explain them. Ask whom to reach if the label or medicine seems different. Do not turn an online example into your instructions.
What about storage?

Ask the pharmacy for the instructions for the exact product. Ask what steps to take if the delivery fails to meet those instructions.
