yes many of Schulze and other herbal tinctures should be taken 3 to 5 times a day. If one weighs 150, the average tincture dose is 2 dropperfuls (not stoppers) of tincture per dose if one weighs 150 pounds, but if someone weighs say 300, they would need to double it as one takes their weight and puts in over 150 in fraction forms and then reduces it; hence, 300/150 = 2 or 2 times as much or 4 dropperfuls. If one weighed say 225 it would be figured 225/150 - 1 1/2 so 1 and 1/2 times 2 dropperfuls is 3 dropperfuls.
A dropperful is figured at 30 drops per dropperful (one does not need to measure unless they want but there are slight variants in amount of drops per dropperful depending on what the herb is so it is figured at average of 30 when using the above formula (Clark's rule) for doing see more here

So just use it like that. Squeeze the dropper and then hold the bulb and insert into any tincture you are using and release..what remains in the dropper is one dropperfuls and that is how you measure it. It will look about half full.
don't worry about drops being a little more or less just get it in you.
there is a difference between Schulze's products and many others.
Read why his herbs are the best here
https://www.herbdoc.com/index.php/Best-Herbal-Formulas-Supplements.html
Many manufacturers use much cheaper conventional herbs that are 7 to 10 times lower in the phytochemicals that cure and prevent disease and hence far less effective
Schulze uses 99.9% organic or safely wildcrafted herbs.
Many manufacturers use a lot less herbs and a lot more menstrum (alcohol) vastly reducing potency. Schulze packs them to the top and then smashes down with a press smashing more and more herbs in there for maximum potency
Many manufacturers do not let tinctures sit and allow the plant chemicals enough time to get into the tinctures. It should be at least 2 weeks but they might just pour it through the herbs and catch on the other side or sit an hour or two so again not a good tincture there.
Finally they often adds things to make it taste better so they sell more,. Companies like Schulze and herbpharm never do this as they know that the things like sweetener can damage why the herb works in the first place. Maybe it is for the liver and it is the bitterness that cause the liver to purge its bile. If one only tastes yummy sweet and not bitter than they lose the effect entirely. Most of the things found in nature are bitter and yet we consume very little bitter foods etc
One wants a tincture as capsules or not easily absorbed and the alcohol in the tincture extracts more of the healing chemicals from the herb to the tincture than water does to a tea (the 2nd best way to take herbs and use distilled water as being empty extracts more of the important plant chemicals.
Plus hardly noone does it so concentrated and by the full moon as traditionally done. Studies has shown that when a tincture is done by the full moon, it is stronger.
Organic herbs especially expensive ones like ginsengs are far more expensive than the conventional and toxic herbs many herb makers use. One might even pay hundreds of dollars a pound more depending on the herb.
Schulze has cut out the middleman and sells directly to consumers in order to make it profitable to sell such expensive products and give you the highest quality to get well. A grower might sell herbs to a maker and that person sells it to someone to transport and each marks it up and then the store marks it up big time so maybe a product that costs $1 to make winds up costing $10 by eliminating all the middlemen, Schulze can offer it at a comparable price pretty much at a far far higher quality. with better results..you get what you pay for.
Schulze has encouraged people to make their own herbal products and even showed them how in his save your life manual.
He has stated even if you cant find one to several herbs to make it anyway. He has given away many of his formulas in his incurables manual but these were not in there but many of the formulas use one part of each.
I save up to 90% of the cost making my own tinctures and it is very easy.
You want to make sure to buy organic bulk herbs so type that into the search
organic bulk herbs kola nut or whatever herbs you are needing to make your formula If you only want to buy an ounce of each type 1 oz after it,. Mountain rose herbs sells a diversity of organic and wild crafted herbs at just a little more for one ounce than for 4 ounces that they sell.
One also needs 80-100 proof vodka (distilled from grain), a few tincture bottles, a couple mayo or similar bottles to mix it and labels for what it is put expiration date 15 years from date you strained it but it should be good much longer
See both posts here on how to make a tincture

If I was you and felt too expensive as it can be expensive, I would use one part of each herbs to make a similar product. Use organic herbs.
You should be able to make it a lot cheaper and they said that anything you make yourself will be way way stronger than what you can buy from most places. Even better than herbpharm which after Schulze is one of the better companies out there.
B iser did a study with over 30 herb tinctures and found Schulze was the strongest tincture followed by homemade followed by herbpharm..many of the tinctures had no signature taste or properties due to how they were made..often the label is the best thing about the tincture.
Schulze says a lot about herb quality in his save your l ife manual and if you want to send me an email address I can send you this chapter via attachments as long as it fits. Most of the chapters so but it is one of the bigger ones but I think it will fit and I think you should read this as it is very interesting.
You might try making the ginseng one at least on your own since it is so expensive but then ginseng is and he sues several kinds of it but still probably cheaper to make.
Also remember to factor in your weight as these are to be dosed on weight and not in general..less than 125 you would need less more than 175 you would need more based on Clark's rule above.
Let me know if you would like that herb quality chapter by clicking on my name and emailing me with an email address.

I could not afford any of the formulas when I did the incurables which requires many formulas and I made them all myself and have great results nonetheless.
I even removed mucoid plague with his intestinal cleanse #2 I made myself with herbs that were not organic before I had a way to get organic herbs and had computer and even Schulze said he did this and was effective so organic will really really be way better even but tweaking the formula a little should not hurt that much..try it and see how it does you can always add I mean buy more or maybe get 1/2 and make half and take some doses with yours and some with his to cu costs.
