Pro-drug Technology: Additive Manufacturing of Personalised Drug Dosage Forms

Innovative 3D printable prodrugs are used to create solid dosage forms using additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Active ingredients, such as ibuprofen/paracetamol, loaded tablets would contain one or more structures and cavities (or similar) to provide a tailorable drug release profile and enable customisable delay/transit through the stomach/GI...
