Summary
The purpose of personalized medicine is to treat each patient with medication that is specifically designed for them, taking into account their unique physiology, drug response, and genetic profile. Several new technologies, most notably 3D printing, are driving a change from mass-produced, “one-size-fits-all” medicine to individualized, patient-specific care. Using a variety of programs, 3D printing allows for the gradual construction of a three-dimensional item. The shape, release profile, and medication combination options for pharmaceutical dosage forms made using 3D printing are practically endless. Inkjet printing, binder jetting, fused filament fabrication, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and pressure-assisted micro-syringe are a few of the 3D-printing technologies being studied for potential usage in the pharmaceutical industry. The technology may find future use in the medical field, namely, in the dispensing of prescription drugs on an individual basis. This chapter highlights the numerous 3D-printing methods, their uses in research for producing pharmaceutical items, and the benefits and drawbacks of each. Incorporating various medications into a single polypill also demonstrates its promise in individualized therapy. Insight into its care for different demographics is also presented. Its potential clinical application is also addressed. The many obstacles that stand in the way of the technology's application in customized medicine are also highlighted.
