Grains are from the old apothecaries' system, and have mostly been replaced by the metric system. According to the article Medication Dispensing Errors And Prevention, "The use of apothecary measures are now part of the historical archives; weight measures like grains, drams, and minims have little meaning to the modern-day healthcare workers and should no longer be used." Hope that helps!
