Scientists in Japan have developed a way to administer insulin to patients through the skin. Such a method avoids one of the problems associated with injections and oral administration in which a drug?s concentration is reduced as it passes through the digestive system. It would also be a more pleasant experience for patients.
Masahiro Goto from Kyushu University in Fukuoka and SO Pharmaceutical Corporation in Kobe, and colleagues, prepared a capsule loaded with insulin that is able to penetrate the skin with its cargo.
