Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a transformative technology in pharmaceutical manufacturing, enabling the development of personalized dosage forms tailored to individual patient needs. The ability to customize drug release profiles, dosage strengths, and combination therapies presents an unparalleled opportunity in modern therapeutics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the characterization of 3D-printed and personalized dosage forms, focusing on the evaluation techniques, physicochemical properties, mechanical strength, and release kinetics. The review further addresses the challenges associated with 3D-printed pharmaceuticals, including regulatory hurdles, reproducibility concerns, and material limitations, while highlighting the scope for future innovations. The integration of advanced characterization tools ensures that personalized medicines maintain efficacy, safety, and patient compliance, paving the way for a new era in individualized therapy.
