Abstract

There are various types of liquid dosage forms for both oral, parenteral, and topical applications. Solubility of API is a very important parameter for liquid formulations as the ability of API to undergo solubility will dictate the applications, patient compliance, and stability. The physicochemical properties will also have effects on manufacturing process of the API. The solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) is dependent on the physicochemical properties of API. This chapter briefly addresses various types of liquid dosage forms and the basic physicochemical properties.
