The invention relates to a
metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablet and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
medicine. The
metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablet is composed of sustained-release granules, sustained-release microcapsules and a
lubricant, and is prepared through tabletting, wherein the weight ratio of the
metformin hydrochloride in the sustained-release granules and the
metformin hydrochloride in the sustained-release microcapsules is (3:7)-(6:4), and the
lubricant is selected from superfine silica
powder or
magnesium stearate. According to the preparation method, a traditional
spray drying method is improved, by combining a dry
granulation process, the sustained-release microcapsules and sustained-release granules of different processes are prepared, tabletting is further carried out to prepare the
metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablet, the specific ratio of the sustained-release microcapsules prepared by the
spray drying process to the sustained-release granules prepared by the dry
granulation process is explored, and the
metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablet of which the inner portion has the structure of the sustained-release microcapsules and the sustained-release granules is finally obtained. The metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablet and the preparation method thereof achievea good release behavior of the sustained-release tablet, overcome the shortcomings of sudden release and incomplete release, obtain a better release curve, and also greatly reduce the
impurity content.
