Currently, there are a few or none marketed gabapentin veterinary products, leading to treatment with compounded dosage forms or off-label use of human-marketed products. With the said approaches, there are significant risks of preparation errors, rendering these practices suboptimal.
A new manufacturing technique to accurately and rapidly prepare veterinary dosage forms close to the point-of-care is needed.
The method was successfully applied to determine the drug content in the prepared semi-solid extrusion 3D-printed dosage forms. This study proved that pet-friendly tailored gabapentin dosage forms could easily be manufactured by semi-solid extrusion 3D printing and UV–Vis spectrophotometrically analyzed with the ascorbic acid derivatization method.
