In this article, the author discusses definitions (solutions, oral liquids, parenteral solutions, topical solutions, syrups and elixirs), preparation methods/techniques, physicochemical considerations (drug form, pH and pKa, chemical stability, flavoring or odor masking), characteristics of common vehicles (oral liquids, syrups, elixirs and nonaqueous solvent systems), specific quality control, storage/labeling, stability and counseling. A table provides a listing of common syrup vehicles and their pH and alcohol content.
