After thinking over the post that I just submitted, I realize I should have added a little more: Recently there was an article in Popular Science (I believe) about new developments in patches. There have been some discoveries that will allow all sorts of new patches, which will be coming to market over the next few years. For the most part, these will NOT be new drugs, but instead, an improved delivery system. You will be able to wear a patch instead of swallowing pills. I imagine that the major benefits would be to persons having difficulty swallowing, and those experiencing nausea. Probably an even more important benefit would be a more constant delivery of medication, with the obvious benefit that would bring. I'm not a doctor, nor an expert in this field--just reporting what I've read, along with some obvious observations. Wayne, [log in to unmask]
