Abstrakt: The field of drug delivery is constantly evolving, with innovative technologies paving the way for more effective and personalized treatments. 3D printing technology has emerged as a promising avenue in this regard, offering the potential to transform the pharmaceutical industry. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of drug delivery through 3D printing, highlighting recent breakthroughs, challenges, and the exciting prospects that lie ahead. The review discusses several key advances, including the ability to tailor medications to individual patient needs, the creation of complex dosage forms, and the utilization of biocompatible polymers for controlled drug release. Additionally, it explores the concept of combination therapy and the benefits it offers in improving treatment outcomes. While, 3D printing holds immense promise, it is not without its challenges. Regulatory approval, material selection, scalability and intellectual property concerns are important considerations that need to be addressed for widespread adoption. Looking to the future, this article envisions the potential for nanoscale drug delivery, in-home drug printing, disease-specific drug formulations and the convergence of 3D printing with bioprinting techniques for regenerative medicine applications.
