The role and efficacy of plastic shell

The capsule shell is the outer shell of the capsule that people see in daily life. It is an edible substance. With it, many drugs that are difficult to swallow become easy to eat. So what are the functions and effects of this capsule shell? What are its main ingredients? If you want to know more, you can follow the editor to have a look.

The role and efficacy of plastic shell

1. The capsule can protect the medicinal properties of the drug

Many medicines in our daily life are highly sticky. If taken directly orally, they will evaporate or be decomposed by the saliva in the mouth, and will have unnecessary therapeutic effects after taking them. Putting them into capsules before taking them can avoid these symptoms, which is very beneficial for protecting the medicinal properties and efficacy.

2. The capsule can reduce the irritation of the drug to the stomach

There are many drugs that are highly irritating and will hurt the stomach if taken orally directly. Some drugs taste particularly bad and are difficult to swallow. In this case, they can be ground into powder and put into capsules to make the taste better. The capsules cannot be absorbed and digested in the stomach, thereby reducing the irritation of the drug to the stomach.

3. The plastic shell makes it easier for people to control the dosage

Usually, it is very difficult to control the dosage of some drug powders or health care powders when taking them. However, after they are loaded into capsules, the capacity of each capsule is fixed. Then, when taking the medicine, the dosage can be easily controlled, and the symptoms of taking too much or too little medicine will no longer occur.
