A drug delivery device such as an oral dosage form (ODF) with a toxic or
potent core encapsulated by a non-toxic region. The non-toxic region may
be a region including multiple layers, coatings, shells, and combinations
thereof, which provides protection to and isolation from the toxic or
potent core. The drug in the toxic or potent core is incorporated into
the dosage form via, for example, three-dimensional printing, as a
solution, solubilization or suspension of solid particles in liquid,
rather than by the more conventional handling and compressing of dry
powder. This minimizes the likelihood of creating airborne particles of
the toxic drug during manufacturing, hence controlling and minimizing the
exposure of manufacturing personnel to the hazardous substance. Wet
dispensing of the toxic or potent drug further provides greater
bioavailability of the drug to the patient.
