doses
Prescription quantity units
Doses is the plural of dose—measured quantities of medicine, radiation, or other substances administered at one time: The doctor prescribed smaller doses for children.
By extension, doses can be portions of any experience: healthy doses of skepticism, daily doses of exercise.
As a verb form, doses means to administer medicine: She doses the cat with antibiotics twice daily.
