What are Capsule Shells (Hard & Soft Gelatin / HPMC)?
Capsule shells are technically a primary container component because they are in direct contact with the drug substance. Hard gelatin is the historical default; HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsules are the fast-growing vegetarian/vegan alternative and offer better moisture compatibility for hygroscopic APIs.
