ABSTRACT:
A medicament includes a caplet having a peripheral land which is inserted into mating capsule shell halves each with internally formed recesses defining external peripheral lands which align when the shell halves are fitted over the caplet. In one embodiment of the invention, the internal diameter of the capsule shells is selected such that the caplet will fit within the capsule cell regardless of its orientation, while in another embodiment the caplet land mates with the internal recesses of the capsule shells. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the capsule shells have different lengths and diameters such that one overlaps the other and can be sealed.
