藥英文：選對工具，才能量對藥（Use the Right Measuring Tool）

◎文╱藥師黃彥銘

oral syringe [ˈɔːrəl səˈrɪndʒ] 
口服注射器

medicine cup [ˈmedɪsɪn kʌp] 
藥用量杯；給藥量杯

measure [ˈmeʒər]
測量；量取

Please do not use a kitchen spoon for liquid medicine. Choose an oral syringe for small doses and a medicine cup for larger amounts. Ask your pharmacist to show you how to give the correct amount.
請不要使用家用湯匙量取液體藥品。小劑量可選擇口服注射器，較大的藥量則可使用藥用量杯。您可以請藥師示範如何給予正確的藥量。
