Monsoon is the seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation and to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation. This monsoon also brings several diseases into the light and affects people during the period.

This monsoon period is very dangerous as there are a lot of chances of getting affected by viral diseases. Hence, it is also a good time for medical stores as many people get diseased during this period. We generally use capsules and syrups for curing the diseases. Though we hate taking medicines, we forcibly take them for having good health.

Whenever you feel ill and were asked to take pills or capsules, you definitely revolt, right? Why do we feel bad when we were asked to take capsules or tablets? Most of us say that it is due to the bad taste. Isn’t it? While taking capsules, had you ever thought why do the capsules have two different colours? Why do capsules have two different parts? Doesn’t it work with just one whole thing? May or may not? Let us find it out.

First, we need to find out how these capsules are produced. In the research, it was shocking that the two parts of the capsules were not of the same size. One is wider than the other. If you observe closely, the wider one has more content than the shorter one. This clearly indicates that the shorter one is the ‘cap’ while the wider one is the ‘container’.

Both the parts can act a container, but in general, a wider one is considered as a container and the shorter one as a cap. Coming to the filling section, the bigger part, a container is placed at the bottom with mouth up so that the machine can fill the capsule with the content and after filling, the cap part is placed on the container.

Following this process of making thousands and lakhs of capsules in the small amount of time is impossible. It is also impossible to identify the wider and the shorter parts of the capsule if the parts are coloured same. Isn’t it? Hence, different colours were imparted to them so as to increase the production efficiency.

Watch Making Of Capsules:

One of the other reasons is that kids are more attracted to coloured capsules. Their parents make them believe that the capsules are toffees or chocolates. So, colouring of capsules is also one of the marketing tactics of various Pharmaceutical companies. Though there are many other reasons, above stated reasons strongly support.
