This little pill is enough to fill your stomach for 4 months

When someone finds it difficult or unable to lose weight by normal measures, they will find a surgeon and offer a stomachectomy. This procedure will help to limit the empty space of the stomach and reduce appetite. However, perhaps in the future, stomach cramps will no longer be common when scientists have created a pill that you will need to drink for up to four months.

Eclipse - effective obesity pill

The elipse , the name of the tablet produced by Allurion Technologies, actually contains a special balloon shell inside. When the patient swallows the tablet with a catheter, the capsule will melt and release the balloon shell.

The doctor then injects 550ml of fluid through the tube to make the balloon swell, accounting for a large part of the stomach. The catheter is pulled out and the patient can immediately go home safely. Their appetite will decrease markedly.
Of course the ball will not be there forever. After about 4 months, a valve on the ball will automatically open. It will collapse quickly and leave only a thin shell. It will then automatically pass through the gastrointestinal tract safely.

Elipse, special pill to treat obesity.

Although the Elipse has not yet been officially licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration, its studies have proven to be remarkably effective. According to the latest study published at Obesity Week 2015, Los Angeles, 34 patients using Elipse reduced their excess 1/3 weight. On average, each person can lose 10kg within 4 months.

The fat index and hemoglobin A1c also decreased markedly, corresponding to a lower risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Elipse proves to be a pretty impressive tool. Although some cases have been reported about nausea and vomiting, it is only temporary and common side effects with similar methods.

In the future, when receiving an official license, Elipse will be assigned to people with a BMI of 27 or higher. These patients can start with the Elipse to have a proper diet on the journey to a softer body. However, then the pill will not be used for long.

'This new treatment option is being studied and will gain approval to be present in the regimen for the management of obesity. That's good news for many of our patients , 'said Nguyen Thi Ninh, a medical doctor and professor of surgical teaching at the University of California, Irvine. 'For many people struggling with their weight, Elipse may be a less invasive option than surgery. Patients can choose it after conventional weight-loss drugs do not work. '
