How to distinguish between good and bad empty capsules?

3. Empty capsules are becoming increasingly popular because their elongated shape makes them easier to swallow, making them one of the most popular drug dosage forms among consumers; secondly, capsules can effectively mask the odor and unpleasant smell of the drug contents.

4. Empty capsules come in a variety of sizes, from size 00 extended capsules to size 5 capsules, to meet different drug loading needs. Furthermore, text, trademarks, and patterns can be printed on the capsule surface, providing a unique and customized appearance and increasing recognizability.
