About Fluid Drams
A fluid dram (fl dr, also 'drachm') = 1/8 fl oz ≈ 3.697 mL. Used by apothecaries for precise medicinal compounding; a fluid dram divided into 60 minims. Largely superseded by millilitres but still appears in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical medical literature. 1 fl dr ≈ 3.697 mL.
About Cubic Centimeters
A cubic centimeter (cm³), also written cc, is the volume of a cube with sides of one centimetre = exactly 1 mL. 'cc' is the preferred notation in medicine, mechanical engineering, and automotive contexts. Engine displacement is measured in cc (a 1,000 cc motorcycle engine has 1 L displacement); syringe dosages are labelled in cc. A standard sugar cube ≈1 cm³. 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
