Size 4 Specifications

Locked length approx. 14.30 mm; cap diameter approx. 5.31 mm; body diameter approx. 5.05 mm; typical dry-powder fill around 120–240 mg depending on density.

Capsule sizes from largest to smallest: 000 > 00 > 0 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5. Fill weights are approximate because powders vary greatly in density.

DRcaps® vs Standard HPMC Capsules

Both use plant-based HPMC, but DRcaps® use a shell formulation designed for delayed release. They are not the same as a conventional pharmaceutical enteric-coated dosage form, so we describe them as delayed-release capsules rather than promising a specific release location.

Common Uses

DRcaps® are commonly considered for compatible dry supplement formulations such as probiotics, digestive enzymes, botanical powders and odour-sensitive ingredients where delayed release is desired. Suitability depends on the ingredient and complete formulation.

Important Medication Notice

Do not crush, open, divide or re-encapsulate medicines unless a pharmacist, doctor or other qualified healthcare professional confirms that it is appropriate.

I've been using DR caps from pure capsules for a few years

I have been using the clear DR capsules from pure capsules for three years now. Like many others leaving reviews, I have a chronic UTI and I'm on hiprex and long term antibiotics. In order to protect my stomach I encapsulate all of these drugs in a 000 capsule which fits hiprex and coamoxiclav. The service that Bob and his team gives is first class. Quick to answer emails and the capsules are sent out very quickly.

Excellent Delayed Release Capsules Would highly recommend this Company and…

Would highly recommend this Company and their delayed release capsules if you're on long term medication that affects your stomach. My symptoms are much improved and the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful when processing orders. A truly professional service. Thank you.

This company is amazing

This company is amazing. They have acid resistant capsules, which I can put my medication in, and have literally been a life-saver. They are reasonably priced, available to purchase as a individual customer (instead of just being for businesses), and the capsules always arrive in good time. I have never had any issues with this company and highly recommend them.

God Send for cUTI long term medication

These have been a god send. My long term medication for CUTI (hiprex and antibiotics) are very difficult to take as harsh on the tummy causing nausea, burning, reflux etc. If i encapsulate them in the enteric coated capsules they don't release until they hit the small intestine so all them nasty side effected no longer happen. Without these i wouldn't be able to stay on my medication and be extremely unwell so I am very grateful these are available!
