Oral Suspension

  • An oral suspension is a type of liquid medication that is intended to be taken by mouth.
  • It is usually a homogeneous mixture of active ingredients, excipients, and a sweetening and/or flavoring agent.
  • The medication is usually taken using a measuring spoon or cup provided with the product.
  • Oral suspensions are commonly used for children, elderly patients, and patients who have difficulty swallowing pills.
  • They are also used for medications that are not stable in other forms, such as tablets.
  • It is important to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the proper distribution of the medication.
