It is a current practice in several countries to indicate the dose of syrups or solutions to drink using the "teaspoonful" as unit of volume (considered usually equal to 5 ml). This, nevertheless, is a potential source of error of dispensation because the spoons manufacturers do not continue a standard to determine the volume of the same ones. This measurement error can cause even the death, for poisoning or subtherapeutic dosage of the measured medicine.
