It is a latin term, pro = per and capsula = capsule
As it's in Latin in the French version, you could either keep it as is, or "per capsule".

neutral  liz askew: but we don't use "pro capsula" in English...to make this clearer: no hits on any En medical site for "excipient pro capsula"

  -> you're right, I didn't check the net.. So my second suggestion, which is yours too, is correct then.
agree  philgoddard: Yes, you can't leave it in Latin.

disagree  Joseph Brazauskas: 'Pro' ('instead of, in place of') is not a synonyme for 'per'.
