Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals

This occurs in the context of being one process in manufacturing pharmaceuticals. Is this the same as "proportioning" in English? "Dosage" does not seem right in this context.

English translation:dosage
Explanation:
At least in American English, this would still be referred to as dosage, because the pharmaceutical companies preparing the meds have to prepare them to certain dosage specifications. Dosage is not just what the doctor prescribes, but the amount of active ingredient (medication) in a pill, amount of liquid, or whatever form the medicine takes.

neutral  Neil Ashby: "dosage" is the amount of something given over a certain time period (e.g. 2 mg [the dose] every 12 hours [2mg/12h=dosage]), it is not the action of proportioning doses. Notice that the question is about manufacturing.
