[Quote] was marked to and she told me that the whole syringe held 1 tsp and she said that 1 tsp=1 CC. She said that the mark was at 1/4 tsp but when I came home I realized the syringe held more than 1 tsp.[Quote]

I don't know what the receptionist gave you as a syringe but 1 teaspoon is "5"
cc's. There are 5cc syringes and 1cc syringes. I am a nurse so I am sure about this. 1/4 of 5cc's would be 1.25cc's. 1/4 of a 1cc syringe would be 0.25cc's so that is a big difference in dosage and whether you are talking about adult or childrens formula.
