    First, you need to convert all units to calculate what dose the doctor ordered.

    1 dram = 4 mL

    So, it must be given 4 mL of medication

    1 cc = 1 mL

    So, if t he vial states that there is 1 mg in 1 cc, that means the concentration is 1 mg in 1 mL or, 1 mg/mL.

    Now, we need to calculate what is the dose of medication in 4 mL:

    1 mg is in 1 mL, how many mg is in 4 mL:

    1 mg : 1 mL = x : 4 mL

    Crossing the products:

    x · 1 = 1 mg · 4

    ⇒ x = 4 mg
