The present invention relates to a dual-release tri-layer tablet for
brivaracetam, which is composed of three
layers: an immediate-release layer, a
barrier layer, and a sustained-release layer, wherein the
barrier layer is
drug-free and located in the center, and at least 75% of the area of each of the immediate-release layer and sustained-release layer is covered by the
barrier layer, and the sustained-release material in the barrier layer comprises a
wax-like sustained-release material. The tablet has the following properties: after administration of the tablet, the
drug substance dissolves at a rate of 25% or more within 30 minutes, 30-65% within 2 hours, 65% or more within 6 hours, and 80% or more but less than 100% within 14 hours, when measured by the
paddle method at a rotation speed of 50 rpm in test solutions of pH 1.2, pH 4.5, pH 6.8, or water; and the tablet also shows zero-order release 30 minutes after administration, thereby significantly improving the release profile of the
drug brivaracetam, enhancing compliance and safety, and optimizing the
therapeutic effect of the drug. The present invention also relates to a dual-release tri-layer tablet for
brivaracetam, and a method for preparing the same, which belong to the
pharmaceutical technology.
