Smart Capsule
A tiny medication capsule could be life-changing for some people.
Most medications are absorbed into the body through the stomach and small intestine before making it to the large intestine.
This is just fine for most people, but becomes a problem for people suffering from inflammatory bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease – they need drugs that target the large intestine directly. Scientists at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana may have found a solution: A tiny smart pill that delivers drugs right where patients need it most.
