Appears to be a photograph from a page in a book or brochure. It explains how taking a capsule of medication works. A paragraph at the top of the page reads: "For persistent moderate to severe pain in patients requiring continuous around-the-clock analgesia with a high potency opioid for an extended period of time generally weeks to months or longer. Palladone Capsules should only be used in patients who are already receiving opioid therapy have demonstrated opioid tolerance and who require a minimum total daily dose of opiate medication equivalent to 12 mg of oral hydromorphone."

Below the paragraph there are three steps each illustrated with a capsule. The first step is "1. Whole capsule ingested by patient." The illustration shows a capsule that is filled with pellets. The pellets are made up of tiny circles. The second step is: "2. Capsule dissolves in gastrointestinal tract within 5 minutes releasing uniform pellets." The illustration shows the pellets without the capsule encasing them. The third step is "3. Each pellet a matrix controlled-release system that releases drug slowly over 24 hours." The illustration shows one pellet with a number of arrows pointing out from it.

The background of the image is a yellow and purple gradient.
