Can pharmaceutical hard gelatin empty capsules use different colors to distinguish different dosage strengths?

Yes, pharmaceutical hard gelatin empty capsules can use different colors to distinguish different dose intensities. This approach is commonly used in pharmaceuticals or nutritional supplements to help consumers identify and distinguish between different doses of products, thereby avoiding accidental ingestion or confusion.
By selecting capsules of different colors, the product can be easily divided into multiple dose intensity levels, such as high dose, medium dose, and low dose. Each color is usually associated with a specific dosage and often matches the brand logo or product packaging design.
Here are some common practices for distinguishing dose intensity using capsules of different colors:
Brightness difference: Capsules with different dosages and intensities can be distinguished by different colors of brightness, for example, light colored capsules represent low doses, while dark colored capsules represent high doses.
Color difference: Use different base colors or tones to represent different dose intensities, such as using light blue for low doses, medium blue for medium doses, and deep blue for high doses.
Marking or pattern: Adding markings or patterns on the capsule shell to distinguish different dose intensities, such as printing different numbers, letters, or symbols on the capsule.
Packaging labeling: Clearly label the dosage intensity represented by different colored capsules on the product packaging to help consumers choose and use the product correctly.
Using capsules of different colors to distinguish different dosage intensities can improve the usability and safety of the product, helping consumers to use and take medication or nutritional supplements correctly. But it is necessary to ensure that the selected colors comply with relevant regulations and do not cause confusion or misunderstanding among consumers.
