Over the past years, numerous novel dosage forms, including gels, have been investigated for paediatric treatment due to need provide flexible dose adjustment possibilities, as well a patient-friendly approach drug delivery. Simultaneously, 3D printing technology is continuously advancing and gaining interest tool personalised formulation development. Multiple additive manufacturing methods, semi-solid extrusion, especially used in gel printing, flexibility regarding of active ingredients design soft forms. techniques can be considered possible answer demand medicines tailored small patients’ needs. This review intends present an overview current comparing gel-like non-gel-formulated forms crucial aspects developing those cutting-edge by printing. paper discusses formulations such chewing gums, which still require extensive evaluation, explores question three-dimensional process. Furthermore, it highlights gel-based gummies hydrogels, fabrication has intensively studied previous years. However, research needs advance.
