This document discusses hard and soft gelatin capsules. Gelatin capsules enclose drug substances within soluble shells, usually made from gelatin derived from animal bones and hides. Hard gelatin capsules are prepared through dipping, spinning, drying, stripping and trimming processes. Soft gelatin capsules are manufactured using one of four methods: plate, rotary die, reciprocating die or Accogel machine. The document describes the soft gelatin capsule production process and lists common evaluation tests for capsules including weight variation, content uniformity, dissolution and disintegration.
