In order to get 40 mg of the medicine,
you need 40% of the bottle which has
100 mg of medicine in it.
--------------------------
She should give you +.4%2A15+=+6+ ml of
liquid from the bottle.
--------------------------
I researched and found:
6 ml = 0.2029 ounces
and also
6 ml = 1.2173 teaspoons
That looks like you need more than a dropper,
but a little cup would work!
