Solutions for better patient experiences
Although medications are effective in combating disease, their full benefits are often not realized because approximately 40% of patients do not take their medications as prescribed.
For some, the experience of taking pills is unpleasant. It can be difficult or painful, which leads to poor medication adherence. In addition, the experience of taking pills can further irritate the GI tract causing diarrhea, constipation, cramps and dyspepsia. When swallowed, pills need to be dissolved by the body into small enough particles to be absorbed. During this process, as much as 80% of the drug may get metabolized by the liver and excreted.
While liquids can be offered as an alternative delivery method, they often taste terrible and can be challenging to administer to children and pets. As far as injections go, most patients strongly dislike the experience, particularly when self-administered.
ORAL DRUG DELIVERY CAN BE IMPROVED
In order for drugs to work, three factors must be carefully balanced: efficacy, safety and adherence. However, oral drug delivery is an inefficient process, involving many factors including individual patient circumstances that can lead to poor adherence.
Alternative oral routes of delivery can positively impact drug efficacy, safety and the patient experience. In fact, sublingual delivery (under the tongue) and buccal delivery (between cheek and gum) are proven to lead to direct absorption into the bloodstream and avoid:
- the need to swallow a pill,
- drug exposure to stomach acids and tissue irritation,
- drug absorption through the intestines, and
liver metabolism and potential injury.
