What makes this different, Tom, is that it is not a new med, but a new way of delivering meds. The oral meds they are working on right now, don't seem to be working, because the stomach acids break it down before it gets to the blood stream.
The new capsule or tablet delivery would be with a protein gel covering, that would protect the med, in the stomach and let it go into the blood stream, full force.
At least, this is the way I understand it. I hope it works, too..
