CONCLUSION

In a conclusion, capsules are solid dosage form of medication in which the

drug is enclosed in either a hard or soft soluble container or shell made of gelatin. The
purpose of the experiment was to develop skills necessary to compound capsules, as
well as being able in performing the necessary calculations for preparing this dosage
form and analyze the application of binder in capsule preparation. The final product of
capsule type obtained from this experimental procedure was the hard gelatin capsule.
During the lab session, we have been exposed on the basic method in capsule
preparation; what it is used for, what type of capsule needs to be produced and step-
by-step taken into account before achieving the end product. Through this kind of
exposure, students acquired a grasp of basic techniques and will be better able to
adapt in order to prepare safe and uniform dosage forms in future. As for some
recommendation, during the spray drying process, make sure that there is no
precipitate because if so, the powder produce will be a little and making it hard in
producing capsules. Be sure to stir constantly to avoid resulting in precipitation. Next,
make sure the flow rate of spray dryer in a stable/constant condition, so that the
drying time taken become shorter, so it is necessary to monitor the flow rate from
time to time.
