Researchers from the State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton have developed a novel technique using 3D printing technology to create tailored and localized delivery of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for the treatment of epilepsy. The study focused on the use of ethosuximide, an AED, loaded into 3D-printed sodium alginate and polyethylene oxide scaffolds. The researchers found that the scaffolds allowed for sustained release of ethosuximide for up to 2 hours, demonstrating their potential for treating epilepsy. This technique could enhance therapeutic outcomes, minimize side effects, and create patient-specific dosage forms. [Extracted from the article] |
