A company called Aprecia Pharmaceutical’s recently got approved to create its first 3D drug. Using their technology ZipDose they have created an anti-epilepsy pill called Spritam. The great prospect about this new technology is that now people can receive specifically tailored drugs for them and not just a generic dosage that is made for everyone. This can potentially prevent overdosing and under dosing and will make the drugs easier to take. I think this is a really smart technology that has been researched and I realize more and more how much the 3D printer can do.
