  • Publication number: 20240165040
    Abstract: The present disclosure utilises 3D printing technology, particularly fused filament fabrication, FFF, 3D printing, in conjunction with solid and/or liquid dispensers to produce solid dosage forms, such as pharmaceutical capsules. Such solid dosage forms have a shell, which is 3D printed, and a core, which is dispensed.

  • Publication number: 20240156739
    Abstract: The present invention utilizes 3D printing technology, specifically fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, to produce solid dosage forms, such as pharmaceutical tablets. The production process utilizes novel printing filaments, typically on a spool, which contain the active ingredient. Such active-containing filaments have proved to be extremely robust and the principles outlined in the present disclosure provide access to a variety of viable formulations directly from a 3D printer. This, for the first time, affords a viable means for the in situ (e.g. within a pharmacy) 3D printing of personalized medicines tailored to a patient's needs. The invention also relates to purpose-built software for operating the printing apparatus, as well as local, national and global systems for monitoring the real time operation of a plurality of printing apparati to enable facile detection of malfunctions, thereby making regulatory approval viable and facilitating regulatory compliance.

  • Publication number: 20240041776
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid form, particularly to a 3D-printed immediate release solid dosage form (e.g. based on a pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or food supplement composition). To overcome some of the solubility and disintegration problems inherited by 3D-printed solid dosage forms, the solid form comprises one or more channels, generally in the form of tubular passages or grooves, through the body of the solid form or the surface thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220331255
    Abstract: The present invention relates to solid dosage forms comprising coatings based on natural ingredients, such as naturally-occuring esterified and non-esterified polyuronic acids, optionally in combination with stabilising lipophilic component(s) (e.g. surfactant(s)) and/or other stabilising components. The inventors have made the surprising discovery that polysaccharide-based coatings can be stabilised, and often imparted with gastric resistant properties, through the inclusion of particular additives and/or additional layers. In particular, polyuronic acid-containing coatings may be stabilised and rendered more robust through the inclusion of a lipophilic component (e.g. surfactant), an esterified polyuronic acid, and/or the deployment of an additional coating layer containing stabilising agents that affect the disintegration and/or dissolution of the polyuronic acid.
