The study explores the development of 3D-printed sublingual tablets aimed at enhancing rapid drug absorption and improving patient compliance. Using additive manufacturing techniques, the tablets were designed with optimized porosity, surface area, and dissolution properties for quick disintegration and effective drug release. Formulation strategies focused on incorporating bioadhesive and disintegrant polymers to ensure efficient drug delivery through the sublingual mucosa. The study also addressed patient-centric considerations, such as ease of administration and customization of dosage forms for pediatric and geriatric populations. Results demonstrated that the 3D-printed tablets exhibited superior performance compared to conventional sublingual formulations, offering a promising solution for conditions requiring rapid onset of action. This innovative approach highlights the potential of 3D printing in personalized medicine and pharmaceutical advancements
