Innovative Caplet Technology
Caplets represent a significant advancement in dietary supplement delivery, combining the stability of tablets with enhanced swallowability. Our caplet technology offers superior taste masking, controlled release options, and improved patient compliance.
Advanced Dietary Supplement Delivery
A caplet is a dietary supplement dosage form with an elongated, oval shape. It typically contains active ingredients combined with excipients like binders, fillers, and disintegrants, which help with formulation and effective delivery.
In comparison with other dosage forms, caplets are often easier to swallow than tablets and can provide better taste masking due to their coating. They are usually more stable than capsules and do not require gelatin, making them suitable for vegetarian or vegan options.
At Med Care Factory, we utilize advanced manufacturing technologies to create high-quality caplets. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures precise dosing, consistent formulation, and adherence to strict quality standards. As a leader in Egypt's dietary supplement industry, we prioritize innovation and excellence in every product we produce.
