From Disruption to Reinvention: The Story of API-in-Capsule Technology and Its Future

This article traces the evolution of API-in-capsule (AIC) technology, from its early disruption of traditional formulation through the Xcelodose® system, to its reinvention in 3P innovation’s Fill2Weight platform. The authors explore how AIC has shifted from a risky bet to a scalable solution for modern drug development. Looking ahead, they highlight the transformative role AIC can play in personalised medicine, oncology, and DPI, where flexibility and precision are key to success.
