Problems solved by technology

However, the appearance of the rapidly dispersible tablet prepared by the invention is rough, and the requirements for rapid disintegration and smooth appearance of the tablet cannot be well coordinated, and the printing of a dispersible tablet with a better appearance, especially a delicate cartoon tablet, cannot be realized.
[0012] The biggest defect of binder jet 3D printing is the appearance of the product. Due to the stacking of different polymers and powders, surface defects of the product may appear, such as insufficient mechanical properties such as tablet surface roughness, hardness, and friability. It may even affect the patient's medication experience, and there may even be differences in dosage due to powder falling off the surface of the tablet during storage and transportation.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of medicines and preparations, and relates to a levetiracetam 3D printing preparation and a preparation method thereof. The levetiracetam 3D printing preparation comprises levetiracetam accounting for 40-70% of the weight of the preparation, a filler, a disintegrating agent, a flavoring agent, a flow aid, an antioxidant and an adhesive, wherein the root mean square height (Sq) of the roughness characteristic value of the levetiracetam 3D printing preparation is not higher than 45 microns, the arithmetic mean height (Sa) is not higher than 40 microns, and themaximum height (Sz) is not higher than 350 microns. The preparation provided by the invention has excellent surface smoothness, can realize rapid drug release within a few seconds, can realize flexible adjustment of drug dosage, and greatly improves child medication compliance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medicines and preparations, and relates to a levetiracetam 3D printing preparation and a preparation method thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a levetiracetam tablet such as levetiracetam dispersible tablet, and a method for preparing the levetiracetam tablet such as levetiracetam dispersible tablet using 3D printing technology . In particular, it relates to 3D printed tablets of levetiracetam suitable for administration to children. Background technique [0002] Levetiracetam is a pyrrolidone derivative and one of the most widely used broad-spectrum antiepileptic drugs in clinical practice. Levetiracetam is very soluble and highly permeable, and is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with an absolute bioavailability close to 100%, linear metabolism, little intra-individual and inter-individual differences, and no gender, racial, and circadian rhythm differences. Due to the complete ...
