3. Compare the procedures for compounding hard gelatin capsules with tablets and
compounding hard gelatin capsules with liquid ingredients. JAYYY
When we compound hard gelatin capsules with tablets we use the punch method to produce the
capsules. The powder is placed on a clean surface like a sheet of paper or glass and is formed
and gathered together by a spatula. Taking the capsule you punch the tablet vertically to fill the
powder. When the capsule is finished we then take the cap and cover the top of the capsule and
then push until you hear a click sound. For gelatine capsules with liquid ingredients we’ll use a
micropipette so that an accurate measurement can be obtained for the capsule. We then placed
the capsule in a machine where the base and the cap are separated. The machine will then
completely mix the liquid which will eventually spread over the bases and fill the capsules
evenly.
