Is liquid Denamarin safe for my cat if it refused to swallow the pill form?

My cat has been having a really hard time taking its usual Denamarin pills, and I'm worried it's not getting the medication it needs. I found that there's a liquid version available, but I'm not sure if it's just as safe and effective. Is the liquid Denamarin a good alternative for cats, or should I try something else to help it with its medication issues?
