Capsules are a popular dosage form in the pharmaceutical industry because they provide an easy and convenient way to administer medications, offering precise dosage control. They can be formulated to contain a variety of active ingredients, including powders, liquids, and pellets, and can also be designed for immediate or extended release. Capsules protect sensitive drugs from environmental factors like light and air, enhancing drug stability and patient adherence.
