doser
One giving portions
A doser is a person or device that administers doses.
In industrial and agricultural contexts, dosers are machines that dispense precise quantities: The chlorine doser regulates pool water treatment.
A person who doses—whether measuring medicine or, in drug contexts, psychedelics—may also be called a doser: He's an experienced doser who knows how much to take.
