Pharmaceutical Capsules 

Pharmaceutical Capsules are certified medicines in which the actual medicine or a mixture of medicines is enclosed in a gelatin shell. Each capsule contains a single dose of active medicinal components that is taken by mouth with water or milk. There are four types of pharmaceutical capsules: hard gelatin capsules, soft gelatin capsules, modified release capsules and enteric capsules. A hard gelatin capsule contains medicine in the form of dry powder or very small pellets while a soft gelatine capsule contains a liquid or semi-solid centre. A modified-release capsule gets dissolved as a whole over time and gets released slowly into the bloodstream. An enteric capsule is an acid resistant coating that helps prevent it from dissolving. This type of capsules gets dissolved only when they pass the small intestine.

Pharmaceutical medicines are prepared and manufactured in different forms such as tablets, capsules, injections, powders and creams. This differentiation in production is done to suit the patientsa inclination, severity of the sickness and suitability of medicines for specific diseases. Pharmaceutical capsules are medicines that are a encloseda in an outer shell. Once the capsules are swallowed, this outer shell gets broken down in the digestive tract, the medicine comes out and gets absorbed into the bloodstream, and from here it is moved and metabolized in the physical system of the body just as tablets do. Capsules are made up of gelatin, which is hard or soft and non-gelatin shells, which is derived from hydrolysis of collagen such as acid, alkaline, enzymatic or thermal hydrolysis.
