Liquid, homogeneous preparations, which usually contain solids, but also liquids or gases. The solvents used include water and/or alcohol (ethanol, isopropanol), occasionally also ether, acetone, more rarely fatty oils, liquid waxes or liquid paraffin. They are either directly intended for external or internal use or are used for further processing into other pharmaceutical preparations.

Humectants, such as glycerol, slow down the drying rate. With small amounts of dissolved castor oil, excessive drying can be avoided.
