How interesting! I have not heard of them, but I wonder if the intent is to bypass the digestive system and thus some of the side effects on the tummy some folks (like my DH) get from NSAIDs? I never seem to notice these side effects but I bet my DH would rather try a patch instead of a pill if it would help with this. Anyone in the know?
