The hard capsule or two-piece capsule is a widespread dosage form, which is popular because of its easy administration and is available in a choice of colours. Its operational areas are above all powdery plant drugs, minerals and trace-element mixtures.
Swiss Caps works with different state-of-the-art machinery for high-speed capsule filling in order to achieve the greatest possible flexibility with this technology.
Advantages of the Hard Capsule
- Processing of difficult compressible powders and granulates
- Often used when there are no – or very low – quantities of excipients added to the formulation
- Gelatin-free alternative: hard capsule made with HPMC (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose)
