Capsules are a type of medication that is held in a gelatin type container which holds medicine and dissolves in the stomach. Unlike tablets which are compacted forms of medication, capsules are made up of two halves that are filled with the medication. This form is commonly used for medications that are not suitable for a tablet form, as it can allow for controlled release or better absorption in the body. Liquid drug forms, tablets for sublingual (under the tongue) use, and disk-shaped compressed medications are all different dosage forms than capsules.
