Medicine comes in many forms. In its liquid form, medicine affects the body very quickly. But the effects of liquid medicine aren’t usually long-lasting. That is why pills and capsules are also used.

The pills and capsules being sold today are not perfect, either. Pills dissolve in the stomach. The medicine in the pills is released when the pills dissolve. But often, the pills dissolve too quickly.

Scientists have been trying to develop a pill that can release medicine slowly over a long period of time. They have applied their knowledge of plants to produce the “osmotic(渗透的) pump pills”。

The cell wall of plants are made of cellulose (纤维素). There are millions of tiny holes in the cellulose wall of plants. These holes are big enough to allow water through the cell walls. As water enters a cell, pressure builds up in the cell. The pressure pumps other substances out of the cell. These substances leave the cell through the cellulose wall. This slow, steady process is called osmosis.

The osmotic pump pill is coated with synthetic cellulose. Liquid medicine is contained in the pill. The holes in the cellulose coating of the pill are big enough to allow water in the pill. As water from the body enters the pill, pressure builds up in the pill. The medicine is slowly pumps out of the pill.
