Reye's syndrome is a rare but serious condition, that causes swelling in the liver and brain. Reye's syndrome most often affects children and teenagers recovering from viral infection (flu or chickenpox). Aspirin has been linked with Reye's syndrome and should be used in caution, while giving to children or teenagers, while recovering from viral infections. Aspirin is a pain killer or analgesic.

They are a part of the feedback mechanism in the immune system that turns immune activity or inflammation down.

In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories. Capsules are made from aqueous solutions of gelling agents, such as animal protein (mainly gelatin) or plant polysaccharides or their derivatives (such as carrageenans and modified forms of starch and cellulose). Other ingredients can be added to the gelling agent solution including plasticizers such as glycerin or sorbitol to decrease the capsule's hardness, coloring agents, preservatives, disintegrants, lubricants and surface treatment. Since their inception, capsules have been viewed by consumers as the most efficient method of taking medication.
