Advancements In 3D Printing For Pharmaceutical Applications: A Systematic Review
Keywords:
Three-Dimensional Printing (3DP), Personalized Medicine,Drug Delievery, Innovation,Drug-Release ProfilesAbstract
The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing
technology in medicine allows the pharmaceutical
sector to participate in the fourth industrial
revolution. 3D printing technology is a
groundbreaking and essential method for
fabricating solid objects through the layer-bylayer
deposition process under computer
supervision. Three-dimensional (3D) printed
medicines may serve as an essential instrument
for comprehending individualized treatments
tailored to the distinct needs of each patient,
encompassing factors such as age, weight, comorbidities,
and pharmacogenetic and
pharmacokinetic attributes. 3D printing
technology provides a distinct advantage over
traditional methods in the domain of new drug
delivery systems (NDDS). Many 3D printing
techniques utilized encompass inkjet printers,
thermal inkjet printers, fused deposition modeling,
and hot melt extrusion, among others. The uses of
3D printing in the pharmaceutical sector are
many, including lab-grown organs, drug delivery
systems, anatomical models, and customized
medications, among others.3D printing is
considered a valuable, efficient, and economical
instrument with the capacity to transform the
future of general pharmacy practice, particularly
in pharmacological therapy.
