A dose was a specific concentration of an administered, or exposure to a drug, medicine, or radiation. Injected drugs were usually measured in milliliters (mL); the term cc (cubic centimeter) was also used, although they are the same volume. Radiation dosages were measured in rads. The amount or rate that a dose was given was known as a dosage. A microdose was a low dose which was unlikely to produce large physiological changes. An unnaturally high dosage of a substance was called an overdose.

0.01 ml of felicium was only effective in suppressing the Ornarans sickness for a period of no longer than 72 hours. (TNG: "Symbiosis")

Leonard McCoy requested 50 cc of cortisone to treat the swelling of James T. Kirk's hands after he was injected with the Melvaran mud flea vaccine. (Star Trek)

20 ml of lectrazine and a cortical stimulator were needed to help Tuvok. (VOY: "Fury")
