Whenever we have an illness or need daily nutritional supplements, we usually come across two main forms of pharmaceuticals: capsules and tablets. So, what is the difference between these two forms? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How are they made? How do we choose the form of medicine that is more suitable for us? RichPacking combines more than 30 years of pharmaceutical machinery pharmaceutical experience and more than 4510 solutions to provide you with detailed answers and analysis to these questions in this article.   What are capsules?   In general, capsules are a very useful pharmaceutical dosage form that can make medicine treatment more convenient by precisely controlling the dosage of ingredients filled in the capsule. The design inspiration is similar to a sandwich candy. Its main function is to accurately and hermetically pack the medicine into a capsule, firstly to mask the bitter or peculiar smell of the medicine itself, and secondly to protect the medicine from light and moisture.       As a commonly used type of pharmaceutical preparation, hard capsules are composed of a capsule body and capsule cap as well as internal ingredients, while soft capsules usually consist of a soft shell and internal liquid ingredients. The internal components are usually filled with powder, granules, pellets or liquid. The materials usually used for capsule bodies are gelatin, starch or methylcellulose.     Type of capsule   Depending on the nature of the filling material and the need for treatment, the capsules will be designed to dissolve in the stomach or intestines, which are gastric-soluble capsules and enteric-coated capsules. Their main difference lies in the location of dissolution and release of the medicine in the human digestive tract.     Gastrosoluble capsules:   This type is mainly used for medicines that need to work in the stomach, or those that are more easily absorbed in the acidic environment of the stomach, dissolve quickly in gastric juice, and are released. A simple analogy is that medicines that treat stomach diseases are usually Use gastric-soluble capsules.   lEnteric-coated capsules:   The capsules are designed so that the medicine is broken down and released after entering the intestine. Since the stomach is located farther forward than the intestines in the human digestive tract, in order to resist corrosion by gastric juice, its outer shell must be made of a special material to remain intact in the gastric juice. Its real purpose is to dissolve and release the medicine after it enters the intestine and encounters an alkaline environment. Such capsules are often used for medications that need to work in the gut, such as some probiotics and intestinal anti-inflammatory medications.   The selection of these two capsule types needs to be determined based on the characteristics of the medicine and the therapeutic goals, because the final fi...

Capsules are a common dosage form widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, health supplements, and nutritional supplements. In order to produce high-quality capsule products, capsule filling machines play a crucial role. This guide aims to explore the types, sizes, and filling techniques of capsule filling machines to help you understand how to choose the equipment that best suits your needs and optimize the capsule production process.     The main types of capsules are hard-shell capsules (also known as pre-formed capsules) and softgels. Hard-Shell Capsules: They are widely used in the pharmaceutical and health supplement industry due to their ease of manufacturing, low cost, stability, and compatibility with a variety of drug formulations. The investment cost for capsule filling production equipment is relatively low, allowing for rapid and large-scale production. 1.Structure: Composed of two cylindrical shells, a cap and a body, which can be locked together by an internal locking mechanism. 2.Material: Generally divided into "gelatin capsules," "vegetarian capsules," and "enteric capsules." (1) Gelatin capsules: Mainly made from gelatin (GEL), which is a hydrolysis product of collagen. It is extracted from animal skin, bones, and connective tissues, which are rich in collagen, especially pigskin, cowhide, fish bones, and fish skin. Its hydrolyzed properties and ease of absorption by the human body make it widely used as a raw material for capsule production. (2) Vegetarian capsules: Made from plant-based cellulose or other materials suitable for vegetarians (such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)), vegetarian capsules are suitable for vegetarians, those allergic to gelatin, and certain religious groups. (3) Enteric capsules: Designed to be insoluble in stomach acid, they release the drug once they reach the intestines and are made from materials that can withstand stomach acid, such as methacrylic acid copolymers. 3.Contents: The fill can typically consist of solid powders/granules, micro-pills, and liquids.     Softgels: Commonly used for drugs that are poorly soluble or unstable in solid form, they offer better bioavailability and convenience than traditional tablets or hard capsules. Softgels encapsulate the drug and shell together in a forming machine.   1.Structure: Softgels consist of a sealed, one-piece shell surrounding the contents. 2.Material: Softgels are also made from gelatin, but the formula includes plasticizers (such as glycerin or sorbitol) to make the capsule shell softer and more elastic. 3.Contents: Typically used to package fats, liquids, pastes, suspensions, etc.     Hard-shell capsules come in a variety of standard sizes, commonly including: 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The size of the capsule is denoted by a number, with smaller numbers indicating larger capsules. The following table shows the approximate dimensions and capaciti...
