Why do some medication have to be taken in solid form? Why can’t they all just be liquid for those who have trouble swallowing?
In: Biology
Some are extended release or timed release pills. This makes the delivery more reliable and convenient. (A liquid form might need someone to take a dose every 2 hours which would be very inconvenient and easy to make mistakes)
Things dissolved in liquid are harder to carry around, easier to get the dosage wrong and may also have less shelf life.
