This makes no sense, the directions on your prescription label would be exactly what the doctor prescribed on the prescription. If they aren’t, then what the doctor is telling you to do and what they are writing on the script are not lining up.
There are often multiple dosages, frequences, etc in which a medication can be taken. This is why the prescribed dose often does not match what you may see on manfacturer monographs or online.

It’s a great question for your pharmacist.
