 An Introduction

 The taste or flavor of pediatric medicine holds its importance as it influences adherence to therapeutic regimens and outcomes. Third-Party Manufacturing Pharma Companies define it as the general appreciation of medicine by organoleptic properties such as looks or appearance, smell, taste, aftertaste, and mouth feel. The taste was described as the greatest common testified block to oral medicines administration in a recent study on children with chronic diseases.

Reasons to Opt for Liquid Oral

Medicines are the last thing that a child prefers to take even in illness. Oral dosage forms especially liquid orals are the most popular for the pediatric population. Oral dosage is comparatively preferred because these formulations are suitable for children who cannot swallow oral solid forms. Children generally face problems while having solid orals as they get choked or vomit which leaves the effect of the medication half-hearted. While giving the oral dosage, volume is the most considerate feature which needs to be considered for the appropriateness of liquid formulations.
