3D Printing in Medicine: A New Era for Pharmaceuticals

The introduction of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the pharmaceutical industry is poised to revolutionize the field, enabling personalized treatments tailored to individual patients' specific needs, including age, weight, and genetic characteristics. This innovative technology allows for the creation of complex dosage forms, such as microcapsules and multilayered drug delivery devices, using various printing methods like inkjet, fused deposition modeling, and hot melt extrusion. With its widespread applications in pharmaceuticals, from lab-grown organs to personalized medicines, 3D printing is emerging as a valuable, efficient, and economical tool that has the potential to transform the future of pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical care.
