APLIKASI BENTUK SEDIAAN SOFT CAPSULE
❑ Cocok untuk zat aktif berupa minyak, gel, pasta (dalam sediaan padat)
❑ Untuk zat aktif Cytotoxic (oil) memungkinkan operator tidak banyak
kontak langsung dengan zat aktif pada proses filling

PERTIMBANGAN DARI SISI FORMULASI
PENGEMBANGAN PRODUK SOFT CAPSULE
SOFTGELS CAN BE FORMULATED TO PRODUCE
DIFFERENT DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS Chewable Soft Capsule
A highly flavoured shell is chewed to
release the drug liquid fill matrix.
Orally administered
containing solutions or suspensions that
release their contents in the stomach in an
easy way to swallow. (most common.)
Twist-off :
Designed with a tag to be twisted or
snipped off, thereby allowing access to the fill
Meltable : designed for use as 'patient-friendly' material. It can be very useful for unit dosing of
pessaries or suppositories topical medication, inhalations, or indeed for oral
dosing of a pediatric product.

TYPE A
Type A gelatin is created by treating collagen with acid.
It is derived from pig skin, fish skin/scales, beef hides or
beef bones and is typically used in food-grade products.
It has a lower viscosity but higher bloom than Type B.
TYPE B
This type of gelatin is manufactured using a high-pH
treatment and is also derived from pig skin, fish
skin/scales, beef hides or beef bones.
Type B alkaline gelatine is generally for industrial uses.
It has a higher viscosity and lower bloom strength.
Kriteria / pertimbangan pemilihan plastisizer dalam formula cangkang Soft Capsule adalah sbb
❑ Compatible dengan API ( Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient )
❑ Membantu meminimalkan terjadinya “ Crack / Leakage “ pada lapisan cangkang selama shelf life
❑ Dapat membantu meningkatkan karakteristik fisika / kimia produk ( disintegration, dissolution )
❑ Easy Handling selama proses
Material yang biasa digunakan untuk Plastisizer Cangkang Soft Capsule adalah Glycerol, Sorbitol,
Dapat digunakan tunggal / campuran , dengan mempertimbangkan karakteristik produk .

Basis cangkang – Non base Gelatin yang dapat digunakan antara lain sbb :
❑ Kombinasi Carrageenan (12–24% w/w of dry shell)
❑ Hydroxypropyl starch (30–60% w/w of dry shell)
❑ Potato starch (45–80% w/w)
❑ Polymer : Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 70 – 75 % w/w
There are a variety of carrageenan types, and each one uniquely impacts capsule shell
properties. The two most common types for soft shell capsules are Kappa and Iota.
Kappa carrageenan forms strong and rigid gels, while Iota carrageenan forms rather soft,
weak gels. A combination of the two, Kappa 2, has become a popular solution for
improving soft capsule shell properties, as it yields superior soft capsule qualities and
encapsulation efficiency.

❑ Suspensi dengan 30% solid content dengan viscositas yang optimal sehingga suspense dapat terfilling
dengan baik dan homogen .
❑ Suspensi diformulasikan stabil dengan pemanasan sampai 35ºC
❑ Suspensi di formulasikan dengan Particle Size sekecil mungkin ( smaller than 80 mesh ) dengan cara
milling / homogenizer untuk mendapatkan particle size yang kecil, dan homogen.
❑ Tidak terlalu kental secara pemerian dan dapat difilling dengan baik .
❖ Polyethylene glycol:
PEG 800 -1000 for semi-solid fills.
PEG 10,000 -100,000for solid fills.
Or mixtures of the above.
Heat up to 35ºC to make fluid enough for filling.
