Elixirs 



Elixirs are sweetened aromatic liquids containing active medicinal 

 agents, and having the taste of the active drug modified or disguised 

 by flavoring agents. 



Originated for use in human medicine to permit administration of 

 drugs in more palatable form, a number of elixir formulae have found 

 their way into veterinary medicine because of the adaptability of their 

 formulae to veterinary requirements. 



The following list contains those elixirs that have been found most 

 useful in veterinary practice:
