Liquid dosage forms include solutions and suspensions. Solutions contain active ingredients dissolved in a vehicle, while suspensions contain active ingredients suspended in a vehicle. Solutions are advantageous because they are easier to swallow, especially for children, elderly, and unconscious patients. They also take effect more quickly than tablets or capsules and ensure uniform dosing as the mixture is homogeneous.

3. Rationales behind solutions

(1) Easier to swallow therefore easier for:children - old age - unconscious
people.
 (2) More quickly effective than tablets and capsules.
 (3) Homogenous therefore give uniform dose thansuspension or emulsion
which need shaking.
