Bringing a new level of quality, safety, and predictability to veterinary drug compounding
CurifyLabs, a developer of 3D printing technology for medical applications, has launched Curablend Vet, a new veterinary excipient system that enables 3D printed, palatable, and personalized medicines for pets. Built for use with the CurifyLabs Compounding System Solution (CSS), Curablend Vet brings a new level of quality, safety, and predictability to veterinary drug compounding.
Veterinarians often lack dosage-specific medicines, forcing pharmacists to manually manipulate human drug products or prepare ad-hoc formulations. Such methods can be labor-intensive and introduce variability. Curablend Vet addresses these with a standardized, automated, and digitally documented 3D printing workflow.
Pet owners also often face significant challenges in administering medicine to their pets. If a pill tastes or smells unappealing, pets simply refuse it, resulting in missed or inconsistent doses. Curablend Vet solves this challenge with a flavored, chewable gel tablet designed to look, feel, and taste like a treat. In a study with 31 dogs and 38 cats, the flavored Curablend Vet tablets were voluntarily consumed by a large majority of animals, whereas unflavored tablets were frequently rejected.
CurifyLabs launches Curablend Vet for personalized pet medicines. Bringing a new level of quality and safety to veterinary drug compounding.
“Pet owners want medication time to be simple, not stressful,” said Charlotta Topelius, CEO and Founder of CurifyLabs. “Curablend Vet gives pharmacists a reliable way to make pet-friendly medicines that animals actually want to eat.”
CurifyLabs’ 3D printing technology – a first-of-its-kind compounding tool – is widely used in hospitals and pharmacies across the US and Europe to prepare personalized medicines for humans. The platform replaces many manual steps with automated precision, allowing pharmacists to produce safer, more consistent doses in minutes. That same breakthrough system now supports veterinarians and pharmacists who want a more predictable, science-driven way to prepare medications for animals.
With Curablend Vet, pharmacists can: make soft, flavored gel tablets that pets accept more easily; adjust the dose for each animal; package tablets individually for convenience and safety; and use the same automated, quality-controlled workflow already trusted in human medicine.
“We know how important pets are to families,” said Topelius. “And we’re proud that Curablend Vet now brings the benefits of trusted 3D printed medicine to veterinary care.”
