Oral suspension is a liquid preparation containing solid particles of one or more medicines that are dispersed throughout a liquid phase, intended for oral administration. It is important for certain oral suspensions to have a well-defined particle size specification for the drug substance. Examples of such suspensions include phenytoin, carbamazepine, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and hydrocortisone. Oral suspension is different from pharmaceutical syrup or solution, as the drug particles only get suspended in the liquid medium rather than completely dissolving. Children's Tylenol is one example of an oral suspension that reduces fevers and relieves pain in children aged 2 to 11.
