Capsule

Capsule:
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of techniques used to enclose medicines in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories.
The two main types of capsules are: Hard-shelled capsules, which are normally used for dry, powdered ingredients or miniature pellets or tablets; Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or suspended in oil.
