Hello and welcome,
If the pills that you have taken are not sugar pills [ instead of the active pills] then the arrows do not matter as all active pills have the same drug. The arrows are provided for our convenience so that pills are not missed and taken regulary and if a pill is missed it becomes easier to detect.
So please do not worry. There is no problem.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
