Syrups

Syrups

In medicine, syrups are liquid medications that contain a high concentration of sugar or sugar substitutes, along with an active ingredient. They are used for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills, such as children or the elderly. Syrups are commonly used for treating coughs, colds, and gastrointestinal issues. They improve taste and palatability, and some syrups are made with sugar substitutes for diabetic patients. Syrups are typically dosed with a spoon or oral syringe to ensure accurate measurements and effective absorption of the active ingredient.
