    Liquid drug forms include solutions, syrups, elixirs, and suspensions. A solution is a liquid in which the drug has been dissolved. A syrup is a a thick, viscous solution. An elixir is a type of solution in which the drug is dissolved in alcohol. In a suspension, the drug is not completely dissolved but remains intact and is suspended in the liquid. Suspensions must always be mixed or shaken before administration. Certain liquids can be administered by injection or parenteral administration.
