<p>GELATIN CAPSULES AND METHOD OF PREPARING SAME Gelatin capsules, consisting of a capsule sheath and a capsule filling, the capsule sheath consisting of gelatin, optionally a plasticizer and further additives, and the capsule filling containing active substances and/or dietetic agents and, optionally, further additives and a liquid or powder, in the capsule sheath additionally contain an additive of at least 1% by weight of an agent which in the neat state is capable of absorbing water in an amount of at least 10% by weight of its own weight without undergoing a change in its appearance. Then the capsule filling may contain at least one water-miscible water-soluble, water-sensitive or hydrophilic readily volatile material. The preparation is effected by adding the additive for the capsule sheath in the form of a suspension or solution to the gelatin decoction.</p> |
