Explanation:
Per coerenza con la risposta che ti ho dato per "schema posologico;" I found an extensive number of references.
See for example:
Another hallucinogen is purveyed in blotter paper units. That agent is 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, known frequently in laboratory studies as DOB but also as bromo-DMA (1). According to 19 anonymous brief notations in the Drug Enforcement Administration bulletin Microgram (vols. VI-XIV, 1973-1981), since 1972 DOB has repeatedly been found sold in blotter paper doses in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Greece. Extractable drug averaged .93-2.8 mg per dosage unit for analyses from the United States. Delliou (1) found individual squares to contain 1.4-4.6 mg. In most sales of DOB on blotter paper, it was being misrepresented as LSD (caveat emptor!), to which it is unrelated chemically.

Do you need the other terms as well?
It would perhaps be best to post them separately.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Elena Sgarbo (X): "Drug administration unit" seems like a strange name for a Medical Care Unit (indeed, there is such a thing as a "Drug Preparation Unit")- it is not the way to refer to medication dosage.

  -> io l'avevo inteso come l'unità preposta al calcolo del dosaggio... poteva essere un'interpretazione, data la mancanza di contesto.
