Si`, benche' non siano usati piu` per i farmaci (almeno non dovrebbero
essere usati).
One teaspoonful (tsp.) = 5 ml. (5 millillitres; 5 centimetri cubici)
One dessertspoonful = 10 ml.
One tablespoonful (tbs, tbsp) = 20ml.
Ergo, 1 tbs. = 4 tsp.

Dear Raymot,
I have cough syrups and other liquid ' medicinal compounds ', as well as several bottles of medicine for my dogs,  all obtained under doctors'/vets' prescriptions which call for administering doses of both tsp and Tbs.
Whilst these days  most medicines are indeed prescribed in meaurements of greater accuracy than teaspoons etc.,  there are still some which are not.
Hoping this is not too pedantic,
I remain, ecc

One tablespoonful (tbs, tbsp) = 20ml.
D'accordo per la conversione 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. Tuttavia, sui miei
manuali americani di farmacologia 1 tablespoon corrisponde a 15 ml,
non a 20 ml [F.H.Meyers, E. Jawetz et al., Review of Medical
Pharmacology, Lange Medical Publication, 7th ed., 1980, p. 27;
B.G.Katzung, Basic & Clinic Pharmacology, LMP, 5th ed., 1992, p. 916].
 Il primo dei due testi citati (Review of Medical...) anzi, ricorda
che un tempo i cucchiai da te` erano piu` piccoli [An ordinary
teaspoon will deliver 5 ml, and liquid preparations often contain one
dose in 5 ml. In the past, the teaspoon contained 4 ml (1 dram). A
tablespoon holds 15 ml (1/2 oz).] Esistevano forse differenze fra le
misure popolari approssimate negli US e in UK/Australia?

No, very little is too pedantic for me. ;)
But my main concern was to say not that these measures are no longer used,
because as you say, they are; but to say that they shouldn't be.
Nei giorni dei nostri nonni, tutti i cucchiai erano la stessa misura (almeno
qui).
Ai questi giorni, sono tutti diversi. Comunque 5cc. e` sempre 5cc.
Ciao,

Non lo so, ma pare cosi`.
I have a set of spoons for cooking. They are labelled with both measures.
Also, it is conventional wisdom that a tablespoon = 2 dessertspoons =
4 teaspoons, and I can remember my mother telling me so 30-odd
years ago.
But this is why I say that they shouldn't be used for measuring medications.
As we have seem to have discovered, a teaspoon is not a reliable measure.
