Abstract

One of the most common ways to give medications is through oral administration. Many medications taken by mouth have a bitter taste. The likelihood that the recipients will consume the medications depends heavily on how tasty they are. Patients' inability or unwillingness to ingest dosage forms like pills is a persistent issue during treatment. syrups, particularly for old people and children. These dose forms enable the active medicinal ingredient to be detectably exposed to the taste receptor. As a result, a key component in the formulation of these medications is hiding the disagreeable taste qualities of the drug. It used to be believed that the worse the medication tasted, the better the outcome of the treatment.
