Oral Syringes

Oral syringes are needle-free dispensing devices designed to accurately measure and administer liquid medications or fluids by mouth for both humans and animals.

They are distinct from injection syringes; their tips are incompatible with hypodermic needles to prevent medication errors. They are available in various sizes, commonly 1 mL, 3 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL, with markings in milliliters (mL) and sometimes teaspoons (tsp) for precise dosing.

General Guidance
  • Sterility and Reuse: Most oral syringes are intended for single use to prevent contamination. However, for non-chemotherapy medicines, they can often be washed and reused if your care team advises this is safe.
  • Safety: The unique tips of oral syringes prevent the attachment of hypodermic needles, which minimizes the risk of administering medication incorrectly.
  • Measurement: Ensure you check the measurement markings carefully to administer the correct dose prescribed by a healthcare professional.
