Is the liquid dose equivalent to the solid form dose?

This should be verified by an experienced pharmacist as for some medicines converting from tablets to a liquid formulation will alter the bioavailability and/or pharmacokinetics of the medication and dosage or frequency adjustments will be required.

For example, 90 mg phenytoin liquid is approximately equivalent to 100mg phenytoin capsules and the dose absorbed from digoxin elixir is greater than that from a tablet so a lower dose will be needed. Similarly, if changing from a modified release product to a liquid formulation, the dose frequency may need to be increased.
