Céline Valéry: How does your body process medicine? (2017x55)

Ausstrahlung: Mai 15, 2017

Have you ever wondered what happens to a painkiller, like ibuprofen, after you swallow it? Medicine that slides down your throat can help treat a headache, a sore back, or a throbbing sprained ankle. But how does it get where it needs to go in the first place? Céline Valéry explains how your body processes medicine. [Directed by Daniel Gray, narrated by Julianna Zarzycki, music by Samuel Baker].
