How does your body process medicine?
Speaker:
Céline Valéry
Description:

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].
