First 3D Printed Rx !

[trichcycler]

The Food and Drug Administration approved a 3D-printed drug for the first time, the manufacturer, Aprecia Pharmaceuticals, announced on August 3.

 

Researchers have been excited about the possibilities of 3D-printed drugs for some time now, since the ability to specifically print an exact drug to order would allow custom versions of medications to be printed directly for an individual.

 

If researchers find something in your body, genetic or otherwise, that would make you respond to a tweaked formulation of a drug instead of a version designed for the general population, they could print that exact thing for you on-demand.
