What is better – a capsule or a tablet?
Both tablets and capsules are well-proven and well-accepted dosage forms. The original rationale for developing the capsule as a dosage form was based on the capsule’s ability to mask the taste and/or odor of specific medicinal compounds. It gained further popularity based on: ease-of-swallowing, attractive appearance, ability to hold a color, neutral taste, as well as its ability to be filled and processed easily.
