The numbers behind it
In medicine, a teaspoon is 5 mL and a tablespoon is 15 mL. Those are the measures printed on dosing cups and spoons. Doses are safest in millilitres, which is why most labels and oral syringes use them.
To turn milligrams into millilitres, divide the dose by the strength per millilitre. A bottle of 125 mg in 5 mL holds 25 mg in each millilitre, so a 250 mg dose is 10 mL. If the label gives the strength per 1 mL, enter 1 in the mL box.
