True or false Many medications are measured in grams or milligrams, which are basic units of the apothecary system
1 answer
False. Many medications are measured in grams or milligrams, but these units are not specific to the apothecary system. The apothecary system primarily uses units such as grains, scruples, drams, ounces, and pounds to measure medications. However, the metric system (grams and milligrams) is more commonly used in modern medicine.
