-
Solid single-dose preparation consisting of a soft shell containing a semi-solid or liquid formulation, showing a rate, a place and/or a time of release different from that of a conventional-release capsule. This deliberate modification is achieved by a special formulation design and/or manufacturing method. Soft modified-release capsules are intended for oral use, and include prolonged-release, delayed-release and pulsatile-release preparations. The generic term \'modified-release capsule, soft\' is used only when the more specific terms \'gastro-resistant capsule, soft\' or \'prolonged-release capsule, soft\' do not apply.
