dosings
Measured medicine amounts
Dosings are instances of administering doses—measured amounts of medicine, drugs, or other substances.
The word appears in medical and pharmaceutical contexts discussing how substances are given: The patient required multiple dosings throughout the day.
It can also describe deliberate contamination: Secret dosings of the water supply.
