Medication
When you buy liquid medicines, a portion of that is the main drug that you need, mixed with… who knows what else. The box below comes from a medicine bottle that I found in the cupboard. In each 15mL of liquid there is 22.5mg of the drug Benzydamine Hydrochloride. This drug is an anti-inflammatory and is essentially what is making you feel/get better. When these medications are made, they need to make sure that the dosage is not too large or too small for the patient.
