INTRODUCTION
Early 19th century, Mathes developed the first capsule dosage form from gelatin. We are familiar with capsule since a century.[1] It has been transformed in a different way to serve the society and to provide the additional benefits rather than the conventional gelatin capsule. A capsule is a shell or a container prepared from gelatin containing one or more medicinal and/or inert substances.[2] The gelatin capsule shell may be soft or hard depending on their formulations. Capsules are solid dosage forms in which the medication contained within gelatin shells. The medication may be a powder, a liquid or a semisolid mass. Capsules are intended to be swallowed whole by the patient. In instances where patients (especially children) are unable to swallow capsules, the contents of the capsule can be removed and added (e.g., sprinkled) on soft food immediately before ingestion. In this case, capsules are used as a vehicle to deliver premeasured medicinal powder. Capsule dosage forms occupy more than 10% of the total dosage forms on the market.[3] Soft gelatin capsule are available in oblong, spherical, elliptical and other shapes. They are also available in sizes to contain from 0.1 to 30 ml of volume. The various size of hard gelatin capsule is given in table 1.

INTRODUCTION^1,2
In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements. International Conference on the Harmonization of Technical Requirements for the Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) was organized in April 1990 and has as its sole and primary purpose the creation of international standards for the purpose of pharmaceutical research. This process was initiated in order to harmonize the submission requirements for new pharmaceuticals in the three main regions of Europe, the United States, and Japan and to avoid duplication, inefficiencies and delays.

The six cosponsors of ICH were

1. European Commission,
2. European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industry Association (EFPIA),
3. Japanese Ministry of Health (MHW),
4. Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA),
5. Food and Drug Association (FDA), and the Pharmaceutical Research
6. Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
