[[File:OralSyringe2.jpg|thumbnail|Oral syringes are ideal for measuring small amounts of liquid. They are commonly sold in pharmacies and are also available on [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dhpc&field-keywords=oral+syringe amazon].]] | |||
For best accuracy, an oral syringe should be used to measure the calculated volume of liquid. For efficient dosing, a 1ml syringe with 0.1ml graduations can be used with solutions at a concentration of 10mg/1ml; this provides 1mg/0.1ml graduation. It may be better to use a lower concentration if your usual dose is below 1mg. | For best accuracy, an oral syringe should be used to measure the calculated volume of liquid.
