Abstract
A process for encapsulation of caplets in a capsule comprises the following steps: a. providing empty capsule parts; b. filling at least one of said capsule parts with one or more caplets; c. putting said capsule parts together; and d. treating the combined parts by cold shrinking. The solid dosage forms obtainable by such a process are tamper-proof in that they cannot be opened in a way to be reassembled without showing such opening process.
