I was just wondering, is it possible to make Viagra into a powder? Can you put it in a capsule and pop it in your mouth like a vitamin?
The short answer is yes, and it’s all thanks to a company called Capsule Technologies Inc. The long answer is more complicated than that, but let’s follow the science behind the fiction to see exactly what has happened.
What Is Capsule Technologies Inc.?
First off, Capsule Technologies Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that has developed a way to make medications more convenient for patients by using the power of science. They have done this by developing a new drug delivery system that is a small, discreet capsule that you open to reveal the drugs inside. So basically, it’s like taking a pill and having it delivered to you by a pharmacist. I guess you could say they are the anti-pill™.
Now let’s take a closer look at Capsule Technologies and what they are trying to do.
Why Make Viagra A Capsule?
One of the biggest issues with Viagra is its side effects. Most notably, it can cause headaches, upset stomach, and heartburn. These are all serious issues that cause inconveniences and sometimes even injuries to the people taking the drug. Plus, if you’re not careful, you can end up taking too much and experience dangerous effects. This is why Capsule Technologies Inc. wanted to develop a pill that was easier to regulate and controlled more effectively.
So instead of taking a 300 mg pill every day, patients will be able to take a 6 mg dose under the supervision of a physician. This is a huge potential market as the daily dose of Viagra is around 6 mg. So if it comes in a convenient capsule form, this will make a lot of people happy.
How Does It Work?
When you think about how medications work, you usually think about how they are delivered to you. Generally, medications are either taken orally, injected, or applied to the skin. There are many differences between how medications are delivered these days and how they used to be delivered, but the general idea behind each form of delivery is the same. Your body doesn’t recognize the medication until the chemical is broken down by your digestive system or immune system.
With that being said, medications can be quite dangerous if too much is taken or applied to the body. One of the biggest problems with Viagra is that it is very potent and can be dangerously addictive. If you take too much, the side effects can be very severe and even life-threatening. So it is very important that people are careful with this type of medication and only take what they need to feel better. Capsule Technologies Inc. has taken this into account and designed their product to only be effective and safe for certain patients.
How Is It Different From The Standard Delivery Method?
Let’s take a quick look at how Capsule Technologies Inc. works differently from the traditional method of delivering a medication. First off, the medication is kept inside a solid inner shell that protects the drug from the environment and guarantees the desired dose will be delivered.
Secondly, the shell is designed to dissolve in a specific manner under specific conditions. So if you take the medication at the wrong time or the right time but in the wrong dose, the effects of the medication could be undone. The inner shell prevents this from happening and the medication will be released at the correct rate regardless of what time or what dose you take it at. This is critical if you ask me, because we all know how difficult it can be to remember to take our meds at the right time every day. So if there is an easy way for us to remember, why not?
These are just a few of the major differences between the standard way of taking a medication and how Capsule Technologies Inc. wants their product to be taken. The capsule itself may look the same as any other, but it contains a completely different kind of medicine.
The Future Of Medications
Capsule Technologies Inc. has put a lot of thought into making medications easier to handle and have less side effects. With every new generation, medications become more and more complicated. Generally, medications are tested on animals before being given to humans due to the complicated nature of the experiments that need to be done to determine the perfect dose. Even then, there are side effects that are only discovered after the medicine is given to humans and the risks involved in these side effects are usually not determined until later. This goes back to my initial question: Is it possible to make Viagra into a powder? The short answer is yes, and it’s all thanks to a company called Capsule Technologies Inc.
