People who hate having injections will take heart from successful tests of a
needle-free drug delivery system. Powderject uses a small burst of helium gas to
drive a drug into the outer layers of the skin. Seven volunteers taking part in
the trial at the University of Maryland reported no pain or discomfort when the
drug was being given. The only response was a brief reddening of the skin.
