Benefits of Pharmaceutical Capsules

There is a higher level of stability associated with capsules in comparison to other forms of OSD. The process of encapsulation does not cause high levels of temperature and pressure, therefore heat-sensitive drugs can be formulated more easily as a capsule.

In addition, due to fewer processing steps, capsules can provide a safer and more efficient method of dispensing potent drugs to patients. In particular, capsules are a good alternative to pills in terms of reducing airborne dust levels. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination and improves uniformity in content, which is particularly important for potent drugs at low dosage levels.
