solid dosage forms
In pharma (and in this context), "sólidos" refers to solid dosage forms, e.g., capsules, tablets, etc. Other terms used in a similar way are "líqudos" (syrups, solutions, eyedrops, etc.). Solids usually do not need to be sterile, whereas liquids often do, hence the juxtaposition between "estériles" and "sólidos".
