The Apothecaries' system is a historical system of measurement that was traditionally used in pharmacy and medicine. It originated in the Middle Ages and became widely adopted in Europe and the Americas before the adoption of the metric system. This system mainly includes measurements for weight and volume, specifically designed for the preparation and dispensing of medications.
