An oral solution is a liquid medication designed to be taken by mouth. It contains one or more active ingredients dissolved in a suitable solvent, often water. These solutions are commonly used to deliver medications in a form that is easy to swallow, making them ideal for patients who may have difficulty with pills or tablets. Oral solutions can be used to treat various conditions, such as infections or chronic illnesses. They are often flavored to improve taste, especially for children. Examples of oral solutions include antibiotics, antacids, and liquid pain relievers.
