Which capsule sizes are listed as used for veterinary use?

• A. No. 10 (30g), No. 11 (15g), No. 12 (7.5g)
• B. No. 3, No. 5, No. 7
• C. No. 8, No. 9, No. 10
• D. No. 1, No. 2, No. 3

Answer: (A)

The capacity of a capsule is tied to dose precision and ease of administration, especially in animals. For veterinary use, small capsule sizes are preferred because they allow delivering precise, small amounts and are easier for handlers to administer to animals. The sizes listed—No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12—are the commonly referenced small capsules used in veterinary practice, enabling flexible dosing by adjusting the number of capsules or combining sizes to reach the desired dose. Larger capsule sizes would hold much more material and can be impractical or unsafe for many animals, which is why those bigger options aren’t listed as typical veterinary choices.
