Gelatin capsule can be used to mask the taste of drugs and make the drug easier to swallow. There is no need to compact the material together so the material can be directly filled inside. The material can be filled multiple so that a unique delivery system can be designed within the capsule. As automatic filling machines are used to pump liquids with poorly-soluble drugs dissolved in them into hard shell capsules, it can help improve the content uniformity of these drugs. Hard shell capsules can also be used for modified-release formulations.

HPMC-based capsules can be used to prevent this from happening.

Gelatin melts to a liquid when heated and solidifies when cooled again. If gelatin is put into contact with cold water, very little of the material dissolves. The solubility of the gelatin is determined by the method of manufacture. Typically, gelatin can be dispersed in a relatively concentrated acid. (stomach acids) Gelatin also contains up to 15% Glutamic acid (MSG) by weight as a preservative (antibiotic) The difference between Soft Gelatin and Hard Gelatin capsules is the amount of plasticizer chemical that has been added to the formulation.
