You'll frequently find liquid measures expressed in grams instead of ounces in medical parlance.How does that reconcile with liquids of different densities?

Oops - I think that the conversion chart (grams to ounces) is dealing with weight ounces, not the liquid measure of ounces. As in, 16 ounces to the pound, rather than 8 ounces to the cup.

Prescriptions involving liquids can be expressed in a variety of ways, but since in a given instance you're going to be referring to a single substance, it's just a matter of mathematical conversion from one mode of expression to another.
