Two-piece hard capsules portfolio for oral dosage forms

Solid oral dosage forms (tablets and capsules, both hard and soft) are the most popular delivery option among patients, doctors and pharmaceutical companies. They are “patient-friendly”: readily portable, convenient to auto-administer, easy to swallow, stable and precise in delivering the active ingredient. Hard two-piece capsules also offer additional advantages over tablets, among others: less complex formulations, using less excipients, possibility of combining drug products , more appropriate for hygroscopic active ingredients, option of using two colors (for the capsule cap and body) for product marketing, more efficient product manufacturing process (reduced amount of steps),reducing validation and analytical costs, as well as absence of compression forces in product manufacturing.
