Explanation Of Capsules

Medicines packaged in capsules are generally powders or particles that are irritating to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, or drugs that have a poor taste, are prone to volatilization, are easily broken down by saliva in the mouth, and are easily inhaled into the trachea. These drugs are encapsulated, which not only protects the drug's properties from being destroyed, but also protects the digestive organs and respiratory tract. Removing the capsule shell may cause drug loss, drug waste, and reduced efficacy. In addition, some drugs need to be dissolved and absorbed in the intestine, and capsules protect the drugs from being damaged by stomach acid. In medicine, it refers to a sac-shaped substance made of special film-forming materials (such as gelatin, cellulose, polysaccharides, etc.), which is loaded into the contents (such as various drugs in powder or liquid form) or in a dosage to facilitate swallowing.
