The first 3D printing tablet has just been announced

The tablet is printed according to 3D technology that dissolves almost immediately when released into the water so it is suitable for patients with dysphagia.

According to Science News Journal, Aprecia has become the first pharmaceutical brand in the world to use 3D printing technology to produce a drug called Spritam - a drug used to treat ailments sutra.

On August 3, 2015, the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) approved Spritam medicine product of Aprecia, a pharmaceutical company. And now, this pill has appeared at US pharmacies.

The tablet is printed in 3D technology that dissolves almost immediately when released into the water.

An outstanding feature of the 3D printing tablet compared to conventional tablets is that it has almost instant solubility when released into water. With 3D printing technology, these pills are manufactured using a 3D process called powder injection printing.

With the ability to rapidly dissolve in water, the Spritam tablet will be suitable for people with dysphagia (this phenomenon is common in epilepsy patients), helping them to take medication easily without worry choking.

The successful 3D printing pill paved the way for the delivery of drugs to each patient based on their personal status. In case your body reacts to a component in a mass drug product, researchers can "print" you a similar drug but do not contain that irritating ingredient.

According to the researchers, the successful launch of the Spritam tablet on the market has created favorable conditions for the research and development of more drugs printed with other 3D technologies, bringing a fresh future. Bright for pharmaceutical industry.
