Integration of 3D printing technology in pharmaceutical compounding: Progress, prospects, and challenges

ABSTRACT: A significant limitation of current medication development and usage is the reliance on the 'one-size-fits-all' approach. 3D printing technology is an innovative strategy for customizing medication design and preparation. In this review, we highlighted the potential of 3D printin...
