The pharmaceutical industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the economy and capsules are one of the preferred forms of dosage because they are very easy to consume and have a quick absorption rate. With the Indian economy growing, pharmaceutical manufacturing is becoming a leading industry in the country. Hence, there is a need for more technologically advanced manufacturers all over the world.
Plena Remedies is one of the leading pharma capsule manufacturers in India. They offer their clients a variety of products including hard gelatin, softgel and vegetarian capsules. All of their facilities are GMP certified which means they comply with international operational standards. Their certification grants them the ability to do business in both local and international markets.
Over the last few decades, India’s pharmaceutical sector has seen rapid expansion. In particular, capsule manufacturing has grown because of the increase in the usage of capsules as a medicine delivery system. Capsules are preferred because they have:
• Fast Absorption
• Bioavailability
• Taste-masking of unpleasant flavours
• Ease of swallowing
Domestic and international demand along with changes in India’s global healthcare system have enabled India to supply a significant portion of capsules to other countries as well.
Compared to tablets, syrups and powders capsules offer a number of advantages. For both patients and manufacturers, capsules seem to be the ‘dosage form of choice’ for the following reasons:
Absorption Speed: Medicines in form of capsule are absorbed more quickly in comparison to any other dosage form due to the speedy dissolution of capsules in the stomach.
Ease of Swallowing: Unlike tablets and other dosage forms, capsules can be swallowed much more easily due to their gelatinous surface, making them ideal for the elderly and paediatric patients.
Taste and Odour: Masking bitter and smelly ingredients used in the formulation of certain medicines can be efficiently enclosed in capsules which makes patients’ compliance much better.
Higher Bioavailability: Especially in softgel and liquid-filled capsules, the active ingredients are already present in the bloodstream and these types of capsule forms offer even better bioavailability.
Tamper Proof: Capsules offer greater anti-tampering features since it is more difficult to split or change them without detection.
Protected Ingredients: Sensitive to moisture or light ingredients that need special handling are protected inside the capsules, thus ensuring better stability, potency and shelf life.
Controlled Customisation: Capsules allow individualised dosage strengths and combination formulations especially in complex therapies and thus provide flexible options for dosages.
