Definitions

  • the invention relates to a divisible capsule and to processes for its production.
  • Hard gelatin capsules are preferably used for the dosage of solidifying, highly viscous, powdered, granulated and, in special cases, also tablet-shaped pharmaceutical preparations.
  • divisible forms for more flexible dosing are known in other galenical preparations, e.g. Divisible tablets, divisible soft gelatin capsules, the development of an inexpensively manufactured divisible hard gelatin capsule failed due to the special characteristics of this galenic form.
  • the utility model DE-U-8 120 453 describes a soft gelatin capsule in which two partial capsules are connected to one another via a central web made of capsule material.
  • the teaching disclosed relates to soft gelatin capsules, which are generally not suitable for powder preparations.
  • a divisible capsule which consists of two elongated partial capsules, each with a semicircular cross section, which, after filling, are combined with a medicament to form a capsule of the usual shape.
  • the special feature of the divisible hard gelatin capsule described is the specially shaped partial capsule of conventional length, but with a semicircular cross-section, the area of which is slightly smaller than half the circular cross-sectional area of the fully assembled capsule.
  • a particular advantage of the divisible capsule according to the invention is that the partial capsule is available, for example, under the trade name "Suprokapsel". Elaborate special shapes of the partial capsules are not necessary.
  • the partial capsules can thus be filled and sealed using the standardized, commercially available filling machines.
  • the individual subcapsules can be made of different materials in a separable capsule.
  • the time at which the active ingredient is released can be influenced by a suitable selection of the composition of these materials.
  • Corresponding materials are known from the prior art. This is of particular interest if the active substances in combination preparations are to be released in a predeterminable sequence. By dividing the capsule, an individual adjustment of the dosage to the patient is also possible. Appropriate coloring of the capsules almost eliminates the risk of confusion by the patient.
  • Drug combinations that react chemically with each other i.e. are incompatible can be filled separately in a simple manner and then combined to form a capsule with two partial capsules.
