The present invention proposes a design to incorporate medicaments in the capsule shells (body and cap). Medicaments in the cap and body of the capsules may be different. Other medicaments in the form of granules, beads etc. can be filled in the capsules, which may contain medicaments capsule shell. Thus, the same capsule may contain medicaments in the core matrix and in the shell. The key advantage of incorporation of drug in the shell is to obtain a desired rate of release of the medicament, mainly for potent drugs. Other advantage is to produce a combination drug delivery system. The concept can be used for the hard gelatin, hard non-gelatin, soft gelatin and soft non-gelatin capsules. The type of medicaments can be from any class, but should be low-dose medicaments. The medicament has to be stable in capsule shell during manufacture and during appropriate storage conditions for the capsules.
