Recent developments in 3D printing pharmaceutical, bioprinting and implant for tissue engineering formulations.

Abstract

This review article explores how 3D printing has the diversity in the drug development and the delivery of personalized medicine. The paradigm shift is from conventional methods to tailormade dosages and exploring the intricate interplay of drug selection, polymer compatibility alongwith technological advancements within the pharmaceutical arena. 3D printing is positioned as a crucial tool for catering to the specific requirements of patient-focused fields like pediatrics and geriatrics, ranging from addressing individual needs to improving dosage precision. By harnessing genetic profiles, physiological nuances, and disease conditions, this technology enables the creation of bespoke medications with unique drug loading and release profiles. In developing the newer implants the 3D printing has to be developed alongwith consideration of biological aspects as well as technical aspects. It has to be aligned with multifunctional aspects to cater one optimized product. Furthermore, this paper elucidates the regulatory considerations and industrial implications surrounding 3D printing in pharmaceuticals. Emphasizing compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) and its potential for streamlined production in regulated markets, the paper underscores the transformative power of 3D printing in reshaping clinical practice and optimizing patient outcomes.
