Through the blend of polymer science and capsule engineering, Capsugel has developed a line of functional capsules that provides the industry with a viable alternative to achieve enteric protection and delayed release without functional (enteric) coating.
Vcaps® Enteric Capsules is a capsule technology that simplifies drug enteric delivery implementation from early-stage development to commercial manufacturing. The pharmaceutical grades of cellulosic derivatives used in Vcaps® Enteric capsules have extensive market precedence for use in providing enteric protection.
