Clinical implementation of a paediatric 3D-printed combination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim
Abstract
Adherence to treatment is one of the major challenges in chronic diseases. Inappropriate dosage forms or bad taste are the main factor for non-adherence, especially in paediatric patients. 3D printed medicines could be tailored to specific patients to make medicines more acceptable,…
