How to Convert Dram to Minim
The minim is a small unit of volume, often used for liquids. The term comes from the Latin word minimus. Each minim is about one drop. The fluid dram is an apothecary unit also used for small units of volume. Each dram is defined as 60 minimums. For example, if you have one measurement in minims and another in drams, you would need to convert the dram measurement to minims to make a correct comparison.
