A Polymer-based
scaffold
For controlled delivery
of therapies
along the GI tract
Epitomee’s groundbreaking platform technology is based on self-expanding hydro-gel scaffolds folded into a standard pharmaceutical capsule, produced from biocompatible excipients, food additives, and food contact materials
Mode of Use
The capsule is swallowed
with 2 cups of water
