1. 00# HPMC hollow capsules:
Due to their larger size, 00# HPMC hollow capsules are usually suitable for filling larger doses of drugs, especially those solid drug preparations that require larger space for uniform distribution of drugs or require more fillers.
Suitable for drugs that require longer release time, because the larger capsule shell can provide a more stable release environment.
2. 0# HPMC hollow capsules:
The size of 0# capsules is moderate and suitable for filling medium doses of drugs.
It can be used for both solid drug preparations and liquid or semi-solid drug preparations that require a certain space for drug dissolution or release.
It is often used to fill drugs that need to control the release rate, because the design of the capsule shell can provide a certain degree of sustained release effect.
3. 1# HPMC hollow capsules:
1# capsules are usually smaller and suitable for filling small doses of drugs, especially those that require precise control of dosage.
It is very suitable for drugs that need to dissolve or release quickly, because the smaller capsule shell can reduce the contact area between the drug and the environment, thereby accelerating the dissolution or release process.
It is also commonly used to fill drugs that are sensitive to moisture or need to remain dry because HPMC hollow capsules have lower water content and higher chemical stability.
