Do you know the advantages of capsules?

Capsules are special compared to other medicines due to the protection of capsules in the outer shell. The advantages shown by capsules are roughly in the following aspects:

1. Capsules can cover the bad smell of the medicine or improve the stability of the medicine because the capsule is wrapped around the medicine: because the empty capsule makes the medicine avoid the influence of water, air and light, it is not suitable for those with bad smell or smell. Drugs with unstable properties have shielding, protecting and stabilizing effects to a certain extent.
​​
2. High bioavailability of drugs: The drugs in capsules are generally directly filled in the capsule shell in the form of powder or granules. Since they are not affected by factors such as pressure, the drugs can be rapidly dispersed in the gastrointestinal tract, Therefore, the bioavailability of drugs in capsules is often higher than that in dosage forms such as pills and tablets. As for the disintegration time of capsules, it is also shorter than other dosage forms, generally within 30 minutes, while tablets and pills are within 1 hour;

3. Capsule preparations can also make up for the deficiencies of other solid dosage forms: for example, drugs with high oil content or liquid drugs are often difficult to be made into pills, tablets, etc. due to their special properties, but they can be made into capsules for human consumption.
​​
4. In addition, the capsule can finally achieve the effect of slow release and delayed effect by making the drug into slow-release granules as required and then loading it into the capsule.

Due to these advantages of capsules, capsules are widely used in people's daily life, but people still need to pay attention to choosing the appropriate dosage form of drugs for different diseases, and not blindly greedy for convenience, in order to make the disease better Treatment.
