Gelatine Capsules

Gelatine capsules are an elegant and widespread form of pharmaceutical administration.

Depending on the nature of the filling material to be capsulated – whether liquid, paste or powder – either hard or soft capsules can be used.

In addition to having a neutral taste, they are pleasant and safe to apply and have a high degree of bioavailability.

  Hard capsules

Hard capsules (hard gelatine capsules) consist of pure gelatine (animal source) or cellulose (plant source) and can be manufactured with the addition of colouring matter. The empty capsules procured by our company are opened by machine, filled with powder or granulate, and then sealed again.

  Soft capsules

In contrast, soft capsules are formed, filled and sealed in a single work process. They are very suitable for pastes and oily filling materials. Glycerine and/or sorbitol can be used as a softening agent for the capsule.
