Term
Advantages of Oral Liquids
Definition
Homogenous distribution of active agent, Active agent does not need to undergo dissolution, Dose can be adjusted by changing volume, easy to swallow,  negate risks present in other drug forms. 
Term
Disadvantages of Oral Liquids
Definition
things in solution more likely to degrade/hydrolize, shorter shelf life, some things taste or smell bad in solution, heavier, need temperature specific storage, pouring/measuring problematic for some, germs looove them.
