Plunger syringes designed to administer an accurate dosage of oral liquid medication. These syringes typically include a plastic barrel marked with 0.5 mL graduations (and/or with teaspoon fractions), ended in a hollow blunt tip. The syringe capacity is usually 0.5 to 20 mL, although syringes with higher capacities (e.g., 60 mL) are available. Oral-medication syringes should not be capable of connecting to needles, intravenous tubing, stopcocks, or injection ports. Syringes intended for pediatric administration may have long soft tips and/or child-resistant caps.
