Title: Process for the manufacture of liquid filled capsules
Inventor: ALEX RAINER
IPC: A61K9/64
Filed: 1999-11-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for encapsulating a shear sensitive fill mass into a capsule, characterised in that said fill mass is heated and subsequently cooled, immediately prior to the encapsulation. The invention relates also to the capsules obtainable by the said process. The process according to the present invention enables to obtain capsules showing high and constant dissolution rates. The amount of active agent intake can be therefore reduced since the active agent itself is rapidly dissolved. The overall costs of the medicament are thereby also reduced. The high homogeneity (and therefore the high and constant dissolution rate) of the capsules produced with the process according to the present invention guarantees a reproducible bioavailability and therapeutic effect of the active agent which is contained in it.
