Description

As a component of hard and soft capsules, gelatine protects the drugs against harmful influences, such as light or oxygen. Soft capsules are mainly used for vitamins and food supplements while hard capsules are mainly used for medicines. Gelatine helps to keep the active pharmaceutical agents together reliably and for a long time. Thanks to careful selection and dosage, even the release speed of active medical agents can be enhanced with the use of capsules. Gelatine-coated tablets (caplets) are a new technological development. The external coating with gelatine ensures that patients can swallow the caplets easily and without any problems.
