Manufacturing pharmaceutical mini-tablets for pediatric patients using drop-on-demand printing.

ABSTRACT: The pharmaceutical industry has traditionally manufactured medicines in a limited range of dose strengths, with an emphasis on addressing the needs of the largest patient subgroups. This has disadvantaged smaller patient subsets, such as children, who often cannot find drug products in dosage levels suitable for their requirements.

These are small-size dosages that offer attractive features such as flexible and personalized drug dosing, ease of swallowing, and tailored drug release, making them an excellent choice for administering medicines to children.
