Two-day capsule for ulcer therapy

Researchers at the University of Tromsø in Norway have developed an innovative drug capsule capable of remaining inside the stomach for up to 48 hours. This allows for direct delivery of antibiotics to the bacteria responsible for stomach ulcers. The capsule combines a natural polymer from algae with a synthetic polymer; it dissolves upon reaching the stomach and transforms into a membrane that prevents its passage into the intestines, enabling a gradual release of the medication at the infection site. This technique offers more effective and safer delivery, reducing side effects and increasing treatment efficacy compared to traditional medications.
