dropperful

One squeeze's worth

A dropperful is the amount of liquid drawn into and dispensed from a dropper—typically a glass or plastic tube with a rubber bulb at one end.

The term appears most often with herbal tinctures and liquid medications: Take one dropperful twice daily.

The exact volume varies by dropper size but usually ranges from 0.5 to 1 milliliter.
