How many drops of cocci-care should be added to 500 ml of water. The does written on the label is confusing. It is difficult to measure 1/3 teaspoon!

1/2 teaspoon = 30 drops
1 teaspoon = 60 drops
So a third would equal 20 drops if I'm doing my math right.

One teaspoon is 5mL. So 1/3 of a teaspoon is about 1.66mL. Does that help?
In the lab, it was considered that 20 drops made 1 mL. Which makes a teaspoon 100 drops. Really, it depends on the type of dropper. If you don't have something in which to measure 1.6mL with, but you do have a dropper, take a 1 teaspoon measure and your dropper, and count drops of water to fill the teaspoon. Then you can figure out how many drops would be 1/3 teaspoon. Dump the water, dry out the dropper (blowing some air or squeezing the bulb a lot works), and then count drops of medicine to get the 1/3 teaspoon amount.
Or, if it is 1/3 teaspoon for 500ml, then it is 1/2 teaspoon (2.5mL) for 750ml.
Does any of that help?

Thanks a lot. According to your guidance I found that 1 drop is perfect for 50 ml drinker. I have started the medication today.
