“胶囊”英语怎么说

摘要：央视《每周质量报告》曝光河北一些企业用生石灰处理皮革废料进行脱色漂白和清洗，随后熬制熬成工业明胶，卖给浙江新昌县药用胶囊生产企业，最终流向药品企业，进入消费者腹中。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

China's drug watchdog issued an emergency notice late Sunday night to suspend the selling and consumption of a list of capsules with reported excessive chromium contamination.

Earlier Sunday, a report run by the China Central Television (CCTV) revealed that several commonly used drugs were packed into capsules made from industrial gelatin, which contains a much higher degree of chromium than edible gelatin.

由于涉嫌铬超标，国家药品监督管理局16日晚发出紧急通知，要求对某些药用空心胶囊产品暂停销售和使用。

周日早些时候，央视曾经曝光国内数种药用胶囊由工业明胶加工而成，工业明胶的铬含量大大超出食品明胶。

【讲解】

文中的“capsule”就是“胶囊”的意思。capsule作为名词，还有“太空舱、小容器”的意思。

常说的“药用胶囊”是“Capsules for medicines ”、“Cachets for pharmaceutical purposes”。
