Takeaways

• 😀 Capsules are solid dosage forms containing medicinal ingredients placed in a hard shell casing. There are two types: hard and soft shells.
• 😀 Capsule sizes for human use range from size 000 to size 3, with the most common sizes being 0, 1, and 3.
• 😀 A doctor's prescription provides detailed instructions for capsule preparation, such as the type and amount of medication to be included.
• 😀 The process of preparing capsules involves several tools, such as paper, a large stamper, a spoon, and a flat dish.
• 😀 Common ingredients for capsule preparation include tablets like Dexamethasone and calcium lactate.
• 😀 The first step in making capsules is grinding the prescribed tablets into a fine powder until homogeneous.
• 😀 After grinding, the powder is divided into the number of doses specified in the prescription, which is then placed in the capsule shells.
• 😀 The powder is inserted into the capsules using hygienic techniques to prevent contamination or residue on the hands.
• 😀 If the powder is fine and easily flows, it can be poured directly into the capsule; if it clumps, it should be pushed into the shell with a tool.
• 😀 After filling, the capsule is sealed and pressed, ensuring all powder is tightly contained inside the capsule.
• 😀 Before the filled capsules are stored, they are cleaned and polished using a cloth to ensure they are free from residue and visually clean.

How many different sizes of capsule shells are there for human consumption?

There are eight different sizes of capsule shells for human consumption, ranging from size 000 to size 3.

What is the main purpose of learning how to prepare a capsule-based dosage form?

The main purpose is to be able to identify how to make a proper recipe for a capsule, and how to prepare it correctly based on the given prescription.

What are the key tools and materials required to prepare the capsule dosage form as described in the script?

The key tools and materials required include paper, a large stamper, a mortar and pestle, a spoon, a flat dish, and the tablets to be used (Dexamethasone tablet and calcium lactate tablet).

What is the first step in preparing the capsule dosage form from the prescription?

The first step is to take the prescribed tablets (Dexamethasone and calcium lactate) and crush them into powder, ensuring that they are finely and homogenously ground.

How do you handle the powdered medication when preparing the capsules?

Once the medication is ground into a fine and homogeneous powder, it is divided into the required number of capsules as specified in the prescription.

What should be done to ensure hygiene when handling the capsule shells?

To maintain hygiene, the hands should be washed or kept clean to prevent contamination, and gloves should be used when handling the capsules.

What is the proper technique for filling the capsule shell with the powdered medication?

If the powder flows easily, it should be poured into the capsule. However, if the powder clumps together, it should be pushed into the capsule using a suitable tool to ensure the shell is filled evenly.

After the capsules are filled, what additional step should be taken before storing them?

After filling the capsules, they should be cleaned with a cloth made of wool or linen to ensure that they are shiny and free of any residue before being placed into a storage container.
