For medicines that are unstable under light or in the air, the capsule shell can act as a protective umbrella; for medicines that are liquid and require precise dosage when taking, the capsule can act as a measuring device, which indirectly realizes the solidification of liquid medicines (such as soft capsules). ).
- Control the release site and time to improve the curative effect. By using some special materials, the drug can also be released on-demand in a specific part (such as the intestine) or at a specific time (slow release) to improve the therapeutic effect.

Compared with the tablets, the process of dispersing and disintegration is less, which increases the utilization of the drugs by the human body.
