A Review on Liquid Dosage Form

Abstract

Liquid dosage forms are formulations that are administered through oral, parenteral and topical routes. Liquid dosage forms have better patient compliance as compared to other dosage forms hence, mainly used in paediatric patients. Also, during formulation the drugs are uniformly dispensed in liquid dosage form. It masks the taste of bitter, salty and nauseous drugs. This dosage form enhances the drug absorption and in turn, drug bioavailability. During formulation, some non-therapeutic agents (additives) are added that not have any pharmacological potential but still used to enhance the stability, appearance and efficacy of the dosage form to provide better compliance.
