Keeping track of daily medications can be a real headache, even with all those pill organizers and the best of intentions. But there’s some exciting news on the horizon: engineers and pharmacists are developing 3D-printed “polypills” that could pack a whole day’s worth of medications into a single tablet!
These innovative pills are made possible by a newly formulated ink with molecules that become water-soluble when printed. Researchers have also designed the tablets with customized geometric patterns to ensure precise dosing and controlled release times. “This is an exciting step forward in the development of personalized medication,” said Yinfeng He, co-author of a new study on the technique.
The study primarily focused on aspirin, but the researchers have big plans for the future. They envision creating polypills that combine multiple drugs, tailored dosages, and different release schedules, all personalized for each individual. Until these streamlined pills hit the market, here are some handy tips for remembering to take your medication.
