Q
why capsules are coated with plastic
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Capsules are often coated with a plastic-like polymer to enhance their stability, mask unpleasant tastes or odors, and protect sensitive ingredients from gastric acid, thus ensuring the drug is released at the right place within the digestive system. This coating can also help in controlled-release formulations, allowing the medication to be absorbed gradually over time. Additionally, it can make capsules easier to swallow and improve their shelf life by protecting against humidity and other environmental factors. The choice of coating material, thickness, and type is carefully designed based on the capsule’s contents and the intended release mechanism.
