capsule design

Capsule design refers to the way a capsule-shaped object is structured to efficiently contain and protect its contents while allowing for smooth delivery or use. It involves considerations like the shape, material, and opening mechanisms to ensure durability, ease of swallowing or handling, and proper release of the contents. In pharmaceuticals, capsules are often made of gelatin or other biocompatible materials, designed to dissolve at the right time in the body. Good capsule design balances strength and dissolution properties, ensuring safe delivery, stability during storage, and effective performance during use.
