Formulating biopharmaceuticals using three-dimensional printing

J Pharm Pharm Sci. 2024 Mar 15;27:12797. doi: 10.3389/jpps.2024.12797. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTAdditive manufacturing, commonly referred to as three-dimensional (3D) printing, has the potential to initiate a paradigm shift in the field of medicine and drug delivery. Ever since the advent of the first-ever United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)-approved 3D printed tablet, there has been an increased interest in the application of this technology in drug delivery and biomedical applications. 3D printing brings us one step closer to personalized medicine, hence rendering the "one size fits all" concept in drug dosing obsolete. In this review article, we focus on the recent developments in the field of modified drug delivery systems in which various types of additive manufacturing technologies are applied.PMID:38558867 | PMC:PMC10979422 | DOI:10.3389/jpps.2024.12797
