With Tylenol, asprin, etc. it is directed to take two tablets per dose.
But the amounts of them in the bottle are even amounts like 25, 50 and 100 tablets.
So when I go to get some Tylenol and the bottle is near empty I only see one tablet.
Does this happen to you? Do you think they do this to get us buy 2 bottles?

I have had to take at least two aspirins a day due to the heat outside.

@Deepizzaguy Oh. Wouldn't vitamin C be better for that? And even boosting your D?

I don't pay attention. With Tylenol, I usually take three tablets at a time. Taking only two doesn't help me.
I do have a question for you, though... Do you only buy the bottles with 25 tablets in them? You can divide 50 or 100 by 2. 
(It's normally cheaper by the tablet to buy the larger bottles.

@dfollin I take the amount that works for me. "Natural methods" usually mean picking leaves, roots or flowers off a plant/bush/tree, which means you aren't getting the same dose each time you pick/harvest those. Different plants have different concentrations, even from plants growing right beside each other. I prefer taking pills that are GUARANTEED to have a certain dose so I know I'm not getting too much or too little of the medication each time.

Usually mine turn out even. I only buy higher amounts, like 100 or 150 and I never take just one.

I usually get the 100 count bottle when I can find it available. I never take one. The directions say take two. So my point is it is still coming out one short of a dose at the end.

Yes, this does happen to me. I now buy the generic/store brand of pain pills. I usually take two. I bought a bottle of 500 (500 mg). tablets. I will see how that turns out.
