About Apothecary Ounces
An apothecary ounce (oz ap) is identical in mass to the troy ounce - approximately 31.10 grams - and equals 8 apothecary drams or 480 grains. It was the standard ounce used by pharmacists and physicians across Europe and North America from medieval times until the 20th century. Although the apothecary system has been replaced by SI units in modern medicine, the apothecary ounce still appears in historical pharmacopeias, traditional herbal medicine texts, and some compounding pharmacy references.
