左乙拉西坦
外文名：SPRITAM

2015年7月31日,美国食品药品监督管理局批准了Aprecia制药公司的首款采用3D打印技术制备的 Sprite(左乙拉西坦, levetiracetam)速溶片上市,用于和其它抗癫瘺药物联合治疗成人或儿童患者的局灶性发作、肌阵挛发作、以及原发性全身癫痛发作。 Spritam采用 Aprecia公司自主知识产权的 ZipDose3D打印技术生产,这种以3D打印技术制备的新型制剂内部成多空状因为内表面积高能在短时间内被很少量的水融化。 Spritam是美国FDA批准的首款采用3D打印技术制备的药物。

Spritam是一种可溶于水的易渗性药片，可使患者不必非要吞服药片。　　上述功能对癫痫症患者而言至关重要，因为癫痫症患者可能难以吞咽药片。尤其是对儿童癫痫症患者而言，看护人员喂他们吞咽药片颇有难度。药物的生产原理是使用粉末制造，并用液体将粉末固定在一起，这一技术提供了分解得更快的更高用药剂量。据称，与现有的制剂相比，这种药物的优点是水溶性更好，并且口感更佳。

Brand Names: Keppra, Keppra XR, Roweepra, Spritam
