Abstract

Individualised medicine demands the formulation of pharmacotherapy in accordance with the characteristics of each patient’s health condition, and paediatrics is one of the areas that needs this approach. The 3D printing of oral doses is one method for achieving customised medicine in paediatrics. In this work, pre-formulation studies were conducted to evaluate the viability of using specific raw materials to produce 3D printed dosage forms based on two active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), ondansetron and esomeprazole, which are important for therapeutic customisation in paediatrics. Pre-formulation studies were carried out by characterising the physical and chemical properties of selected raw materials, selected APIs and their mixtures, using analytical methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (X-RPD), simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The flowability of powders, compatibility and stability studies were also performed. Among all the ingredients selected, the PVPs (K17, K25 and K90) had the best characteristics to incorporate both forms of Esomeprazole Mg in a formulation to produce extrudates. The results obtained validated the use of some selected raw materials for tablet manufacture by the 3D printing approach.
