Capsules are a common form of medication delivery. They are more complex to manufacture than tablets, but the capsule shell can offer properties that are difficult to achieve with tablets. The shell provides protection and is tasteless, can be opened, and allows for better control over how quickly it dissolves. Even though the shell looks like it's made of plastic, it's usually still made of gelatin, cellulose, or other natural materials that dissolve without leaving any residue.
The term capsule is also used for hermetically sealed containers, such as space capsules. These usually have different shapes.
