The invention discloses a method for preparing a film coating tablet for treating chronic renal failure. The method comprises the following steps: proportioning various crude medicines of rhubarb, astragalus root, white mulberry root-bark, kuhseng, radix codonopsis pilosulae, white atractylodes rhizome, tuckahoe, prepared fleece flower root, white peony root, radix salviae miltiorrhizae, rhizoma ligustici wallichii, chrysanthemum, pinellia, plantain, radix bupleuri and licorice according to a conventional method, adding water, decocting, filtering, merging decoction, concentrating, drying and pulverizing to obtain medicinal extract powder; the method is characterized by also comprising the following steps: adding microcrystalline cellulose into the medicinal extract powder, mixing evenly, preparing a soft material by an ethanol water solution, granulating, drying, straightening, adding magnesium stearate, mixing evenly, tabletting to obtain a tablet agent and then coating a film coating by a film coating material; the mass ratio of the medicinal extract powder to the microcrystalline cellulose to the magnesium stearate to the film coating powder is 60-75:20-36:0.5-1.3:2-6; and the conditions of the technical parameters of the coating process for coating the film coating are as follows: the concentration of coating liquid prepared by the film coating material is 10-20wt%, the temperature of a tablet bed is 45-48 DEG C, and the liquid spraying speed of the coating liquid is 4-5ml/min.
