Abstract
The present invention provides a dosing system and method for quickly and accurately indicating the proper volumetric dosage of a topical preparation. The container holding the topical preparation is provided with a pictorial representation of a measurement area which is equivalent to a known amount of the preparation when dispensed from the container to cover an equivalent area. A specialized instruction set is provided on the container which equates the represented area to dosage requirement such as age, weight, and/or effective application rate usually expressed as milliliters of topical preparation per square area of skin surface.
