APhA Policy Supports Center for Disease Control and Prevention InitiativeWASHINGTON, DC – The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) House of Delegates voted to adopt new policy on the labeling and measurement of oral liquid medications at the recently completed APhA Annual Meeting in Baltimore Maryland. More than 300 delegates voted on the policy, which would support moving away from outdated dosing cups and teaspoons in favor of oral syringes and cups that measure only in the metric system (milliliter –mL) as the standard for prescribing and measuring all oral liquid medications.
