[0158] 2 Lubrication: Add magnesium stearate, set the mixer speed to 5 rpm, and mix for 5 minutes.

[0159] 3. Tablet compression: Control tablet weight to 230-250 mg and hardness to 140-220 N.

[0160] Although the yield in this example can reach about 95%, the process is unstable and is greatly affected by factors such as the raw material crystal form, crystal habit, and particle size. The process smoothness is poor. After testing, the dissolution differences within and between batches are also large.

[0161] The telmisartan tablets prepared in Example and Comparative Examples 3-5 were subjected to a dissolution test using the basket method (Chinese Pharmacopoeia Dissolution Test Method 1) at 100 rpm. The test results are shown in Table 7.

[0162] Table 7

[0163]

[0164]

[0165] From Table 7, it can be seen that the dissolution curves of Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5 do not meet the requirements, the tablets of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 have good dissolution tendency in each medium and high dissolution rate. However, the yield of Comparative Example 3 is low, the yield of Example 1 can reach 98%, and the cost of Example 1 is lower than that of Comparative Example 3.

[0166] The present application can keep the chemical composition and physical properties of the material dried by freeze-drying method by the synergistic effect of the prescription and the preparation method, the prepared telmisartan tablets have stable quality and good dissolution behavior, the process smoothness is not affected by the crystal form, crystalline habit and particle size of the raw material telmisartan, the yield is high, the prepared tablets can be stored for a long time, and the present application is suitable for large-scale production.

[0167] The above detailed description of the present application is intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present application, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
