  1. 3D Printing for Complex Drug Delivery Systems

  2. 3D printed medication has come far and is now able to print customized medication to specifically suit an individual patient, all while retaining the original intentions of the drug and providing a better experience for the patient. The basis of this relies on how pills work. When you swallow any tablet, it will dissolve in your stomach and intestines at a predetermined rate. However, different pills are designed to dissolve at different rates depending on what type of pill you're taking and for what reason.

  3. Once the pill has been ingested, the ingredients can begin to circulate throughout your body (Pharmacokinetics Absorption), making their way to your organs and tissues. Drug molecules work by binding to different receptors on cells, which trigger a specific response (Pharmacokinetics Distribution). The Four Stages of Pharmacokinetics

  4. It's this ability to customize that makes 3D-printed medication so unique and the benefits so great: 3D printing of pills can be done with complicated structures, which will allow for custom release rates and even printing pills on demand to make dosages more patient- specific. 1 3D printing can print complicated structures that will promote drug absorption or a reduction in negative side-effects from drug reactions. 2

  5. Laxxon Medical's patented 3D screen printing technology (SPID® Technology) allows for the heterogeneous distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in any tablet or pill. Production Printer EX432m

  6. “ One particularly interesting element of heterogeneous distribution is the sequential release of actives. For example, if a tablet contains more than one API, we can control different release times per API based on the highly complex printed structures of our tablets. This is only possible through 3D screen printing. Heterogeneous distribution means that within our tablets, we are able to control not only the amount and type of API or substance which is released but also the time at which this substance is distributed in the body. - Klaus Kühne, Laxxon Medical COO

  7. For patients, heterogeneous distribution and sequential release provide several clinical benefits. These include longer-lasting effects, reduced side effects, and fewer dosages.
