Dose
Precise Measurement
In medical context, 'dose' implies a carefully calculated measurement, crucial for safety and efficacy.

Not Always Medicine
'Dose' can refer to non-medical substances when precise amounts are needed, like ingredients in recipes.

Add a small dose of salt to the mixture.
Context Matters
'Dose' usage can vary; in casual conversation, it might mean an approximation, not an exact measure.

I just need a dose of caffeine to start my day.
