    Liquid preparations have advantages like masking bitter tastes, targeted delivery to parts of the body, and rapid systemic absorption. However, they also have disadvantages like potential incompatibilities, irritation, and decomposition over time. Proper handling and storage is important to prevent issues like contamination, loss of active ingredients, and changes in consistency. This includes storing in airtight, light-resistant containers and diluting solutions as needed. Solid oral dosage forms like tablets and capsules have advantages for manufacturers and patients but can experience issues like dose concentration, softening or cracking depending on storage conditions. Semi-solid preparations face stability challenges from separation or consistency changes with temperature but can benefit skin. Proper labeling for shaking, avoidance of freezing, and
