Liquid dosage forms include solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. These forms are easy to swallow and are quickly absorbed by the body, making them suitable for patients who have difficulty with solid dosage forms. Solutions are clear liquids that contain one or more active ingredients dissolved in a liquid base. Suspensions are liquid dosage forms that contain solid particles suspended in a liquid base. Syrups are sweetened solutions that are easier to swallow, especially for pediatric patients. Elixirs are flavored solutions that are palatable and easy to administer.
