Summary
Traditional pediatric medication delivery has faced challenges due to children's difficulties with tablets and unpleasant liquid formulations. St. Jude's recent initiative to implement semi-autonomous and 3D pharmaceutical compounding aims to improve this situation by creating child-friendly medication forms, like dissolving films and gummy tablets, enhancing both ease of administration and patient compliance. A feasibility study demonstrated the practical application of this technology, delivering customized hydrocortisone formulations for pediatric patients. This advancement has significant implications for healthcare professionals, as it could lead to better clinical outcomes and streamlined pharmacy practices in pediatric care.
