Liquid medicinal forms haven’t any shape, differ in consistency, colour and taste. They are extracts, infusions, tinctures, mixtures, solutions, decoctions.

An extract is a preparation obtained by evaporating a solution of a drug or fresh juice of a plant. A tincture is an alcoholic or hydro-alcoholic solution of nonvolatile drugs of plant or animal origin. Tinctures as a medicinal form were introduced by Galen.

Liquid medicinal forms can be applied both internally and externally.
