8 mg of a substance is an extremely small amount, probably less than a fly speck.
But liquid medicines dilute an active ingredient in a larger amount of solvent or inactive ingredient. Read the bottle carefully, there should be some kind of a "strength statement" in mg/mL or mg/cc. That is not the actual total weight of the volume, it is the active ingredient diluted in the volume.
