The preference for capsule dosage forms

The preference for capsule dosage forms among consumers and healthcare professionals is a major factor responsible for driving growth in the global empty capsules market. Capsules offer several advantages over other dosage forms like tablets. They are easy to swallow and digest for people of all age groups including children and geriatric patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. The empty shell structure of capsules allows for miniaturization and ensures targeted release of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the gastrointestinal tract. This enhances bioavailability and effectiveness of the drug. Capsules are also considered more elegant and appealing alternatives to tablets by many patients. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly opting for capsule dosage forms due to their flexibility in formulations. A wide range of formulations like powders, pellets, granules and liquids can be filled into capsules with tailored drug release profiles. Nutraceutical companies have also expanded capsule offerings of supplements, vitamins and herbal/ayurvedic medicines to meet consumer demand. Rapid growth of nutraceuticals and innovations in capsule drug delivery technologies are broadening opportunities for empty capsules.
