Angelo....I am by no means a scientist but that was about as easy a way to explain what I got out of it too. It does not work as abuse deterrence but overdose countermeasure. I really will be interested to see how the FDA recommends labeling as they don not have something to this effect as of yet.

Thanks Angelo, the concept of preventing the pills from dissolving when too many are taken is scientifically possible. Odidi pulls this off, it's an amazing invention.

This is interesting it uses the same concept of some of the cancer drug that uses a linker that carries the drug through blood circulation and only release in the tumor area when acidic lvl increases naturally around and inside the tumor. In this case, when too many drug was taken it changes the condition so that the drug don't release. Sort of backwards of the same concept. Enclose the drug in something that could identify the condition for release or in this case change the condition to prevent drug release. Fascinating stuff.
