Approximately 6 ml = 1Teaspoon
----------------------------------------------------
A teaspoon is 1/6 ounce. 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons = 1 ounce.
an ounce (US) is ~29.6 ml so a teaspoon would be 4.9333...ml
an ounce (Imp) is 28.35 ml (the volume of one ounce[weight] of water) so a teaspoon would be 4.725 ml
Unless your teaspoon is defined as a measure equal to 1/96 of a pint (imperial measure) which would then make it 5.9 ml a much larger measure. You may be better off keeping your measures in milliliters or cc.
1/5 of a teaspoon
1 teaspoon of water is 5 ml.
The amount of a medicine in a tablet is measured in milligrams.
The word douse means to pour something. The word dose is to pour a measured amount "a dose of medicine"
A milligram is a very small amount (a teaspoon is 5 mg of water). So not a unit to weigh coal in.
5 ml in a teaspoon
A teaspoon of liquid medicine is about 5 ccs.
Yes, medicine can be measured in milliliters, but it can also be measured in cubic centimeters, or cc, which are identical to milliliters.
1 teaspoon
Medicine can be measured in millilitres
The amount of drug in a tablet is usually measured as milligrams (0.000 001kg) The amount of liquid medicine to be taken is given as millilitres ( 0.001 litre).
A teaspoon holds 'about' 5 ml, so the spoon would need to be 1/5 full - but, for such a small amount of medicine it would be safer to use a pippette (dropper) where you would be able to measure 1 ml more accurately.
A dose attribute is likely to mean the characteristics or effects of a measured amount of a medicine. It may be used in efficacy of toxicity testing.
It is 1 teaspoon.
