英文原稿
Most people prefer swallowing a pill to being poked with a needle.
But pills aren’t perfect. The stomach starts digesting them before they can be absorbed.
Now researchers have come up with a better way for you to take your medicine: Swallow the needle.
From the outside, this new pill looks like any other multivitamin, but once it reaches the stomach, the outer coating dissolves, and it reveals the needles.
The stainless steel needles, one-twentieth of an inch long, release the drug when they penetrate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, or the GI tract.
The GI tract doesn’t register pain. And this capsule is small enough to travel through the tract.
So far the pill has been tested only on animals, with quite a success.
