Advantages of Liquid Dosage Forms

1. For patients who have difficulty in swallowing tablets or capsules, including paediatric or elderly patients, liquid dosage forms (for oral administration) are the best dosage form option.

2. Sweetened, coloured, and flavoured vehicles can be used in liquid dosage form to give drugs with bitter and unpleasant tastes.

3. When compared to solid dose forms like tablets and capsules, there is greater dosing adjustability. By measuring a different volume, it is simple and convenient to adjust the dosage of the drug substance.

4. Compared to tablets and capsules, liquid dosage forms are more quickly absorbed when taken orally.

5. Hygroscopic and deliquescent drugs can easily be supplied in liquid dosage form.

7. Liquid dosage forms of drugs like adsorbents and antacids are more effective.

8. The absorption rate of the liquid dosage form is higher than that of the solid dosage form.

They are better for children.

Children often struggle with swallowing pills because they are too big and hard to chew. Liquid dosage forms are more palatable for them.
