An apparatus and method for improving medication dosing is provided. The apparatus preferably includes a template configured to fit over a barrel of a syringe, the template having a substantially opaque exterior and at least one substantially transparent section in the substantially opaque exterior permitting a view of the syringe barrel and a distal end of a plunger within the barrel of the syringe. A method includes the steps of positioning a dosing template on a syringe, operating a plunger within the syringe, and drawing a predetermined dose of medication into the syringe.
