This invention discloses a
theophylline sustained-release tablet and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
pharmaceutical formulation technology. The technical solution includes the following steps: 1) preparation of a pore-forming agent; 2) preparation of a blocking agent; 3) premixing:
anhydrous theophylline and a hydrophilic gel framework material are premixed to obtain a premixed
powder; 4) first
granulation: the prepared pore-forming agent
aqueous solution is added to the premixed
powder, granulated, dried, and sized to obtain granules one; 5) second
granulation: the prepared blocking agent
ethanol solution is added to granules one, granulated, dried, and sized to obtain granules two; 6)
tableting: a
lubricant is added to granules two, and tablets are compressed using a
tableting machine to obtain
theophylline sustained-release tablets. This invention provides a theophylline sustained-release tablet and its preparation method with good sustained-release effect, long duration of action, and good batch-to-batch
repeatability. The preparation method is simple and requires no heating; the prepared theophylline sustained-release tablets show good compatibility with the reference formulation.
