The dosage control device is a sheet like, elongated plastic member having a transverse slot for snapping over the finger projections on the end of a standard hypodermic syringe. A scale is provided in a predetermined disposition with respect to the slot so that when the device in conjunction with the outer end of the plunger duplicates the normal scale on the syringe.
