The biocompatibility of White-2 Gelatin Capsule is generally considered to be good. Gelatin, as a natural polymer material, has a wide range of applications in the medical field, including as the main component of the capsule shell.
1. Material properties
Gelatin is a protein made by hydrolysis and purification of collagen in animal skin, bones or connective tissue. Because it comes from natural organisms, gelatin has good biocompatibility and degradability. In the human body, gelatin can be enzymatically hydrolyzed into amino acids, which are absorbed and utilized by the human body.
2. Biocompatibility performance
Non-toxicity: Gelatin, as a food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material, has extremely low toxicity and is harmless to the human body. Therefore, when White-2 Gelatin Capsule is used in the human body, it will not produce obvious toxic reactions.
Non-irritating: When empty gelatin capsules are used in the human body, they will not irritate surrounding tissues. This is due to its smooth surface and soft texture, which enables the capsule to reduce friction and damage to the mucosa when passing through the digestive tract.
Good biodegradability: Empty gelatin capsules can be enzymatically hydrolyzed into amino acids in the human body, which can be absorbed and utilized by the human body without accumulating or producing harmful substances in the body.
3. Application Verification
White-2 Gelatin Capsule has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical field, including as a packaging material for solid preparations, a carrier for sustained-release preparations, etc. In practical applications, these capsules have shown good biocompatibility and safety. For example, in oral medications, empty gelatin capsules can protect the drugs from damage by digestive juices such as gastric acid, ensuring that the drugs can be smoothly released and work after reaching the intestines.
4. Precautions
Although White-2 Gelatin Capsule has good biocompatibility, the following points should still be noted during use:
Avoid high temperature and humidity: Gelatin is prone to denaturation or degradation in high temperature and humidity environments, so the storage environment of the capsules should be kept dry and cool during use.
Pay attention to drug compatibility: Although empty gelatin capsules have good compatibility with lots of drugs, they still need to be selected and tested according to the properties of the drugs to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the drugs in the capsules.
Use with caution in special groups: For some special groups (such as vegetarians, people allergic to gelatin, etc.), they need to carefully consider or choose other types of capsule shells when using empty gelatin capsules.
