Liquid medications are pharmaceutical solutions that come in a liquid form, making them easier to swallow for many patients, especially children and those with difficulty swallowing pills. They can be found in various forms, including syrups, suspensions, and solutions, each designed for specific uses and absorption rates. These medications often contain active ingredients dissolved or suspended in a liquid base, which may include water, alcohol, or glycerin. Liquid medications are typically measured using a dosing device, such as a syringe or measuring cup, to ensure accurate administration. Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain their effectiveness and safety.
