中文简体Hard capsules are a popular dosage form in the pharmaceutical industry due to their versatility and ease of use. Here are some of the most common uses of hard capsules in pharmaceuticals:
1.Oral medications: Hard capsules are frequently used to deliver oral medications such as vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and prescription drugs. The hard shell of the capsule protects the contents from moisture and light, which can degrade some medications.
2.Powdered medications: Hard capsules can also be used to deliver powdered medications. The medication is placed inside the capsule, which is then swallowed whole. The capsule dissolves in the stomach, releasing the medication.
3.Controlled-release medications: Hard capsules can be designed to release medication over an extended period, allowing for a sustained therapeutic effect. This is accomplished by formulating the medication into a matrix or coating that dissolves slowly.
4.Enteric-coated medications: Some hard capsules are designed to withstand the acidic environment of the stomach and dissolve in the more alkaline environment of the small intestine. This allows medications that may irritate the stomach to be delivered without causing discomfort.
5.Probiotics: Hard capsules can be used to deliver probiotics, which are live bacteria that can provide health benefits. The hard shell of the capsule protects the bacteria from the acidic environment of the stomach until they reach the small intestine, where they can be more effective.
Overall, hard capsules are a versatile and widely used dosage form in the pharmaceutical industry, and their uses continue to expand as new technologies are developed.
