Gastroresistant gelatin films prepared by addition of cellulose acetate phthalate
09. June 2017
Abstract
Gastroresistant capsules are obtained mostly by using modified-release fill in hard capsules, or by coating the gelatin shell with acid-resistant polymers. Modification of the material used at the stage when the capsule shell is produced would reduce the…
