Ezy Dose Medicine Dropper

A calibrated dropper marked to 2.5 mL in half-millilitre steps, for the small doses that go to an infant or into an ear. The bulb draws the dose up the stem to the line, and the line is the point: a dropper without marks is a guess, and a child’s dose is written in millilitres.

Keep one dropper to one job. A dropper that has been in an ear does not go into a mouth, and a dropper for a vitamin does not measure a prescription. The bulb comes off the stem for washing; put it back dry, or it sticks by the end of the week.

This page is general information about medication tools, not medical advice. Whether a tablet may be split or crushed, how much of a medicine to give and what to do about a missed dose are questions for the pharmacist who filled the prescription and the doctor who wrote it.

One of 16 on the liquid medicine dosing shelf in the Ezy Dose shelves. Capacities describe aspirin-sized tablets, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
