Dosage forms

Dosage forms are the different ways medications are prepared and delivered to the body. Common types include tablets, capsules, liquids, creams, and injections. Each form affects how quickly and effectively the medicine works. For example, tablets are easy to swallow, while creams are applied to the skin for localized treatment. The choice of dosage form depends on the type of medication, how it's best absorbed, and the patient's needs. Proper dosage forms ensure that patients receive the right amount of medication in a manner that’s safe and effective.
