A pharma syrup is a liquid pharmaceutical preparation consisting of one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) dissolved or suspended in a sweetened and flavored liquid base. The liquid base is often a combination of water, sugar or other sweeteners, and flavoring agents to improve palatability.

Pharmaceutical powders are dry, finely divided substances composed of one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and, in some cases, various excipients. These powders may be used to prepare various pharmaceutical dosage forms or may be directly administered in certain situations.
