What does AMPUL mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A small sealed glass or plastic vial containing a single measured dose of a liquid, especially a medicine intended for injection.

Hospitals and pharmacies rely on the ampul format for medicines that must stay protected from air and light until the moment of injection. This spelling is common in American medical usage, alongside the fuller form seen more often in British English.
