There's quite a lot. Some of them are as follows:
ORAL ROUTE:
>>Tablets/pills - a mixture of active substances and excipients pressed or compacted into a solid.
>>Capsule - small gelatinous case enclosing a dose of medication.
>>lozenges - medicated candy that dissolves slowly in the mouth which lubricates and soothes irritated tissues of the throat.
>>syrup - adding active ingredients into concentrated solution of refined sugar in distilled water.
