The invention discloses a penciclovir and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid eutectic crystal and a preparation method thereof. In the penciclovir and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid eutectic crystal, the molar ratio of penciclovir to 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is 1:1. The preparation method of the penciclovir and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid eutectic crystal is simple in process, the crystallization process is easyto control, the reproducibility is good, and the penciclovir and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid eutectic crystal is suitable for industrial production. Compared with penciclovir, the penciclovir and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid eutectic crystal has the advantages that the dissolution rate is higher, the apparent solubility is higher, the bioavailability of the penciclovir is favorably improved, and a material basis is provided for successfully developing oral preparations and liquid preparations of penciclovir.
