Good old reliable milk. New research found that when it's combined with particular oral drugs, milk significantly improves their absorption by the body. It’s the latest in a series of studies showing that milk is a highly effective drug-delivery vehicle.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical Innovations, Body & MindTags: Medication, Milk, Bioavailability, Monash University
A peptide hormone produced in the brain that triggers physiological reproductive responses has been 'hacked' by scientists to form an effective, safe and non-invasive way to treat chronic gut pain. It's being deemed an entirely new class of painkiller.Continue ReadingCategory: Chronic Pain, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: University of Queensland, Irritable bowel syndrome, irritabl
The race is on to develop the first daily weight-loss pill that would be both cheaper and less invasive than the current injectable drugs on the market, with the latest strong trial results from US company Terns following similarly positive outcomes from competitors including Eli Lilly, Roche and Structure Therapeutics.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Ozempic, Obes
Diabetics sick of daily injections may have renewed hope for a less invasive alternative. Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new delivery method for insulin where users just place a few drops under their tongue.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Diabetic, Insulin, Drugs, Drug delivery, Drug, University of British Columbia, Tongue
An oral spray vaccine against recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) prevented the condition from returning for up to nine years in more than half of study participants, new research has shown. It offers a safe, effective method of UTI prevention and an alternative to antibiotic treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Infections, Vaccines, Pain, Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant
Researchers who’ve developed an oral insulin that has proven effective at reducing blood glucose and avoiding hypoglycemia in mice, rats, and baboons are set to take their drug to human clinical trials as soon as 2025. They’re hopeful it’ll be available to all in a few years.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Insulin, Diabetes, Diabetic, University of Sydney

Peptide therapeutics have revolutionized the treatment of disease, but their characteristics typically restrict them to administration by injection. Now, researchers have succeeded in creating an oral peptide, which has the potential to usher in a new era in drug development.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: peptide, Disease, Drug delivery, EPFL
The human body's microbe makeup is increasingly linked to the onset of many diseases, with a lot of the focus on the gut. A new study, however, has found that changes in the bug populations in not just the gut but in salivary and urinary microbiomes are linked to kidney stones forming.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Western University, Lawson Health Research Institute, Bacteria, M
A new study has found that specific regions of the brain are activated after a drug is taken intravenously but not when the same drug is taken orally, with increased activity correlating to an increased feeling of euphoria. The findings could lead to new treatments for addiction.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Drugs, Addiction, Brain, fMRI, U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
