Solid Dosage Forms

Solid dosage forms are medicinal products in solid form designed for convenient administration and precise dosing. Examples include tablets, capsules, lozenges, and powders. These forms are engineered to ensure stability, accurate dosage, and ease of handling. They often contain the active drug combined with excipients to aid in manufacturing and improve absorption. Solid forms are popular because they have a long shelf life, are portable, and typically mask unpleasant tastes better than liquids. Once ingested, they dissolve in the digestive system, releasing the medication for absorption into the bloodstream.
