Hard shell gelatin capsule

Hard shell gelatin capsule is an important dosage form widely used in the fields of medicine and health care products.

1. Basic structure and material

Hard shell gelatin capsule is mainly made of gelatin. Gelatin is a protein extracted from connective tissues such as skin and bones of animals, and has good biocompatibility. It can be digested and absorbed by the human body to a certain extent, and is minimally irritating to the human body. This material allows the capsule to function safely in the body without causing adverse reactions.

The capsule is in the shape of a hard shell and consists of two parts: a cap and a body. This structural design is convenient for filling various drugs or health care ingredients. The hard shell can effectively protect the active ingredients inside and prevent them from being affected by the external environment such as air, humidity, light, etc. For example, some drugs that are sensitive to light or easily oxidized can maintain stability during storage and transportation after being wrapped in a hard shell gelatin capsule.

2. Application advantages

Hard shell gelatin capsule can accurately control the dosage of the drugs or ingredients filled inside. During the production process, advanced filling equipment can ensure that the amount of active ingredients contained in each capsule is highly consistent, which is very important for the treatment of diseases and the performance of health care effects.

The capsule is smooth in shape and easy to swallow. For patients who have difficulty swallowing or do not like the bitter taste of medicine, hard shell gelatin capsule is an ideal dosage form. It can mask the bad taste and smell of the medicine itself and improve the patient's medication compliance.

In the pharmaceutical field, it can be used to fill various types of medicines, including powdered, granular and even micro-pellet medicines. In the health care product industry, various nutrients such as vitamins and minerals can also be filled into hard shell gelatin capsules for consumers to take.

3. Quality and safety assurance

The production of hard shell gelatin capsules needs to follow strict pharmaceutical production quality management standards (GMP). From the purchase of gelatin, the molding of capsules to filling and packaging, every link has strict quality control to ensure that the product meets the relevant pharmaceutical or health care product standards.

The manufacturer will conduct a series of safety tests on hard shell gelatin capsules, including microbial limit tests, heavy metal content tests, etc., to ensure the safety of the capsules during use.

Hard shell gelatin capsule plays an irreplaceable role in the field of medicine and health products due to its unique structure, multiple advantages and strict quality control.
