Abstract
Provided is a dual dosage form capsule, methods for producing and systems for making the same, which can provide dual release of the two dosages. The dual dosage form capsule has a first capsule member containing a first fill material and a second capsule member containing a second fill material. A band couples the first capsule member to the second capsule member and forms a third chamber defined by an inner surface of the band and each cap of the capsule members. An aperture allows fluid into the third chamber causing the band to at least partially dissolve so that the caps of the capsule members are exposed. The caps of the capsule members can dissolve at the same or different rates to control the timing of the release of the first and second fill materials and hence an active ingredient included within the fill material.
