Approximately 120 million Americans have difficulty swallowing pills. But now a new patented pill coating developed by the company Med-eez appears to be overwhelmingly preferred by test subjects. Apparently 93% of people subjects preferred the Med-eez pill and 86% of them said they are even willing to pay more for pills with the new coating. The pills are dry when packaged, but become extremely slippery when placed in the mouth, making swallowing pills much more tolerable. It is as yet unclear when they will be available on the market.
