I've never used a Biaxin suspension, but suspensions are not
technically liquids. They don't dissolve. The active portion is
temporarily "suspended" in the liquid after shaking/mixing, then
settles at the bottom over time (that's why you see a layer of stuff
at the bottom of the bottle before you shake it). You administer the
medication while it's suspended in the liquid.
