Traditional Chinese medicine capsule for treating cold and wind-cold and preparation method thereof
By designing an outer layer of rapid-release microcapsules and an inner layer of sustained-release microspheres, the problem of instability of perilla leaf oil and ginger volatile oil was solved, achieving rapid disintegration and long-term release, thus improving the efficacy and storage stability of traditional Chinese medicine capsules.

AI Technical Summary
Among the existing Chinese medicine capsules for treating colds and flu, the chemical properties of perilla leaf oil and ginger volatile oil are unstable and easily volatilize and oxidize, leading to a rapid decline in efficacy. Moreover, ordinary capsules cannot achieve both rapid and long-lasting release modes.
The product employs an outer layer of immediate-release microcapsules and an inner layer of sustained-release microspheres. The outer layer of immediate-release microcapsules is composed of perilla leaf oil and ginger volatile oil encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin and then mixed with microcrystalline cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The inner layer of sustained-release microspheres is made of kudzu root extract and other ingredients combined with a composite backbone of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and ethylcellulose. The outer layer of immediate-release microcapsules rapidly disintegrates in the stomach, while the inner layer of sustained-release microspheres continuously releases nutrients in the intestines. The product is protected by an ethylcellulose isolation layer and a magnesium aluminum silicate anti-caking agent.
It achieves high retention rate and rapid disintegration of volatile components, and slow release of long-acting components, thereby improving the bioavailability and storage stability of the drug and ensuring the continuity and stability of the efficacy.
