Abstract

Although not a new concept, personalized medicines have attracted a lot of interest from researchers over the last decade owing to their associated benefits such as ease of exploiting the genomics of patients hence allowing for the development of more efficient drug products with less adverse effects. Further, numerous doses can be merged into a single product as per the need of the patient’s demography. Three-dimensional (3D) printing methods are being extensively utilized in modern therapy in the genomics of the patient. Numerous dosage forms are being developed by employing 3D printing technologies such as transdermal dosage forms, pulsatile release tablets, and immediate-release tablets. Besides, 3D printing technologies might play a crucial role in the management of life-threatening illnesses. In this chapter, various applications of 3D printing technologies in personalized medicine have been discussed. Also, the various methods and materials employed in 3D printing-based drug delivery have been discussed.
