Introduction

Capsules are one of the most widely used dosage forms in pharmaceutical sciences. They provide
an elegant and convenient way of delivering drugs to patients. Capsules are preferred due to their
ease of administration and improved patient compliance. They are widely used in both prescription
and non-prescription medicines. Capsules can contain powders, granules, liquids, or semi-solid
materials.

Definition of Capsules

Capsules are solid dosage forms in which medicinal substances are enclosed within a shell. The
shell is usually made from gelatin or other suitable polymers. Once ingested, the shell dissolves in
the gastrointestinal tract and releases the active ingredient.

History of Capsules

The capsule dosage form was first introduced in the early 19th century. Mothes and Dublanc
invented gelatin capsules in 1834. Over time, technological advancements have improved capsule
production, making them more efficient and reliable.

Advantages of Capsules

Capsules offer many advantages such as ease of swallowing, masking unpleasant taste and odor,
accurate dosing, and better bioavailability. They are also flexible in formulation and can contain a
variety of drug substances.

Disadvantages of Capsules

Despite their benefits, capsules have some limitations. They are sensitive to humidity and
temperature, relatively expensive compared to tablets, and cannot be easily split into smaller
doses.

Hard Gelatin Capsules

These consist of two parts: a body and a cap. They are commonly used for powders and granules.
They are manufactured separately and then filled with the drug.
