Miniaturisation

They speak of miniaturisation in electronics, physics, … What about pharmacy? I got sick this weekend again. I got a streptococcal infection and my doctor prescribed me an antibioric named Amoksiklav. It is a combination of amoxicillin, clavulantic acid and some other fixants.
My point really isn’t about chemistry but the size of the pills. The doctor prescribed me the 1000mg (every 12 hours one) package. This stuff is so huge, that you cant even think to swallow it entirely.
When will technology find a way to make pills like that swallowable, so that a user like me with strept troat should be able to eat them?
