oral dosage forms

Oral dosage forms are different ways medications are prepared for you to take by mouth. They include tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders. Tablets are solid and often scored for easy breaking; capsules contain medicine in a gel shell. Liquids are used for easier swallowing or precise dosing, especially in children. Powders are powders that can be mixed with liquids. These forms ensure the medicine is protected, easy to handle, and allows controlled release or absorption in your body. The choice depends on the medication’s purpose, patient needs, and how quickly the drug needs to work.
