“Industrial Pharmacy is a key subject in pharmaceutical education that covers drug manufacturing, formulation development, quality control, and regulatory aspects essential for large-scale medicine production.”
Pellets are small, free-flowing, spherical or semi-spherical solid units typically ranging from 500 to 1500 micrometers in diameter. They are formed from powders or granules of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients and are designed for oral administration. Pellets can be filled into capsules, compressed into tablets, or used for controlled release, immediate release, or…
Packing storage of soft gelatin capsules: Soft gelatin capsules (softgels) are widely used dosage forms for delivering liquid, semi-solid, or paste-like contents. Due to their unique composition—primarily gelatin, plasticizers, and water—these capsules are sensitive to environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and oxygen. Therefore, proper packaging, storage, and rigorous stability testing are critical to ensure…
Soft Gelatin capsules: Quality control testing is essential in the manufacturing of soft gelatin capsules to ensure the product meets pharmacopeial specifications, maintains its integrity throughout its shelf life, and delivers the intended therapeutic effect. Quality control (QC) procedures are divided into two main phases: in-process testing and final product testing. Both phases are critical…
Importance of Base Adsorption: Soft gelatin capsules are widely used in pharmaceutical formulations for encapsulating liquids, semi-solids, and suspensions that are not amenable to hard gelatin capsules. The success of any soft gelatin capsule product depends not only on the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) but also on the careful selection and handling of the excipients,…
Soft gelatin capsules, commonly referred to as soft gels, are a popular pharmaceutical dosage form that encapsulates a liquid or semi-solid substance within a soft, flexible gelatin-based shell. These capsules are widely utilized for the oral administration of a variety of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, including fat-soluble vitamins, essential oils, and drugs with poor water…
1. In-Process Quality Control (IPQC) Tests for Capsules In-process quality control tests are performed during different stages of manufacturing to monitor the product and ensure consistency. These tests help in identifying and correcting deviations before the final product stage. 1.1 Weight Variation Test Purpose: To ensure consistent dosage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in…
Hard gelatin capsules are a popular solid dosage form, consisting of two parts: a body and a cap. These capsules are primarily composed of gelatin, which acts as the capsule shell, providing an efficient medium for delivering powdered, granulated, or semi-solid drugs. Filling of Hard Gelatin Capsules The filling process for hard gelatin capsules can…
Capsule Sizes: Capsules are a common dosage form in pharmaceuticals, offering flexibility for delivering various active ingredients. Capsules come in a range of sizes to accommodate different dosages, allowing pharmaceutical manufacturers to select the best option based on the volume and weight of the formulation. Understanding capsule sizes is essential for proper dosage and patient…
Hard Gelatin Capsules: Capsules are a popular and versatile dosage form for delivering medications, dietary supplements, and other substances orally. They are small, cylindrical, and often filled with powder, granules, semi-solids, or liquids, designed to encapsulate the active ingredients. Capsules are primarily classified into two types: hard gelatin capsules and soft gelatin capsules. This note…
