Claim:
1. A patient-based syringe measurement marking system for a syringe including a barrel and at least one plunger for use in dispensing liquid medication, comprising: a first set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia located on a plunger of the syringe, wherein the first set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia is a range of numbers used for measurement and dosing of liquid medication that is non-volumetric and based on a patient criteria; a second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia located on the plunger of the syringe, wherein the second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia is a range of numbers used for measurement and dosing of liquid medication that is non-volumetric and based on a patient criteria; at least one measurement line located on the barrel of the syringe, wherein the measurement line is calibrated to line up with a selected number in the range of numbers of the first set or the second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia in order to measure a quantity of the liquid medication that is a correct dose for the selected number and the patient criteria when the plunger is pulled from the barrel of the syringe, and wherein the barrel further comprises standard volumetric measurement markings; dosing labels identifying one or more of the liquid medication, a concentration of the liquid medication, and a volumetric dosage of the liquid medication corresponding to the first set and the second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia, wherein each dosing label is located on the plunger in proximity to the corresponding first set or the corresponding second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia; and markers located on the plunger in proximity to and corresponding to the first set and the second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia and also located on the plunger in proximity to the dosing labels, wherein each marker identifies a correlation between the corresponding first set or the corresponding second set of patient-based numerical measuring indicia and the corresponding dosing label.
