In general feel that text based warnings, language specific, are more accurate than the illustrations.
For example an individual could interpret the daytime sleepiness illustration as this medication helps you sleep. Too many interpretations from an illustration are possible.
This may have legal implications.
Perhaps a reasonable way forward is to do a short study.
Show 50 patients an illustration and have them write down what they think it means compared to 50 looking at a written warning. See which message is clearer; work from there.
