Syrups

Introduction to Syrups

​Syrups are a popular form of medication delivery, often used for their ease of use and pleasant taste, making them especially suitable for children and those who have difficulty swallowing pills. They are liquid solutions that combine active medicinal ingredients with a sweetening agent, such as sugar or artificial sweeteners, to mask any unpleasant flavors. Syrups can deliver a wide range of medications, including cough suppressants, antihistamines, and pain relievers. They are available both over-the-counter and by prescription, and can be formulated to treat various ailments, providing relief for symptoms like cough, congestion, and fever. Additionally, syrups can be tailored to meet specific patient needs, such as sugar-free options for those with diabetes.
