Quick question regarding medicine....
actually, it's a conversion issue. I got home from Walgreens and the directions on my daughter's medicine says to administer 4cc the first day and 2cc the next four days after that. I'm not use to being told the amount in cc's, normally it's mL or tsp so how much is 4 cc and 2 cc???

1. CC's is the same as ML
CC's is Cubic Centimeters.
Well, a liter is 1,000 cubic centimeters, hence, a milliliter (1/1000 of a liter) is one cubic centimeter, or 1 cc.

Does that help?

2. 4 cc is just under 1 teaspoon.
About 0.8 tsp.
