how many drops are in a ml
A standard eyedropper dispenses 0.05 ml per drop, meaning there are 20 drops in 1 milliliter of medication. Letâs do the math: a 5 ml bottle has 100 doses and a 10 ml bottle has 200 doses. (Most eyedrop prescriptions are dispensed in either 5 or 10ml bottles.) Evaporation is not a big problem so long as the cap is replaced after every application. Calculating for a 30-day month, once-a-day drops and twice-a-day drops in a 5ml bottle will easily last a month. A 10ml bottle will usually accommodate higher doses. Hereâs one last tip.
