Benefits for Pharmaceutical Film Coatings

Film coatings are widely used in pharmaceutical oral dosage forms such as tablets, pellets, granules, and drug crystals. Coatings are used for a variety of reasons including masking tastes, improving stability, ease of swallowing, and assisting in identification. In biopharmaceutical research, using acrylic-based film-coated capsules has also shown encouraging results in the oral delivery of peptide therapeutics.
