    Default Dont' like to swallow or smoke pills???

    You'll soon be able to get a tooth implant that dispenses drugs automatically

    Chronically ill patients get muddled when constantly having to swallow different numbers of tablets at different times, while those with dementia simply cannot cope. Now EU researchers are developing a better, more accurate and more convenient way, a dental prosthesis capable of releasing accurate dosages into the mucous membranes in the mouth.

    As it can administer accurate micro amounts over continuous periods, the prosthesis overcomes the peak concentrations that occur with taking pills and even offers the ability to monitor and maintain consistent blood levels of any drug. What makes the Intellidrug prosthesis unique is that, unlike existing drug prostheses and implants, it is small enough to fit into two artificial molars. Inside the patient’s mouth, it is readily accessible and can easily be maintained and refilled.

    Wow!

    Cool, just like the "Suicide tooth" that spies use.

    Also be good for ulcer/gastro patients, so as not overwhelm the stomach.

    That's a great idea I think...as long as you don't end up swallowing it.
