Gelatin Capsules
Gelatin capsules are solid oral dosage forms composed of gelatin, a hydrolyzed protein derived from collagen. The manufacturing process involves dipping metal pins into gelatin solutions to form shells, followed by drying and trimming. The chemical structure is defined by the molecular formula (C102H151N31O39)n with CAS No. 9000-70-8.
Capsules containing bovine or porcine sources require religious compliance checks. Storage must occur in cool, dry environments below 25°C to prevent microbial growth and moisture absorption. Avoid use in patients with severe gelatin allergies.
