This form is suitable for various medications, including dietary supplements, TCM, and Western medicine. Dropping pills are also appropriate for certain nutritional supplements such as grape seed extract and spirulina. They are a commonly used dosage form in traditional Chinese medicine preparations, suitable for herbs like Coptis (Huanglian), Scutellaria (Huangqin), and Forsythia (Lianqiao). Additionally, dropping pills can be used for certain Western medicines, such as aspirin and vitamin C.
The advantages of dropping pills include ease of oral administration, accurate dose control, and the ability to mask bitter taste or reduce irritation to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
