The invention discloses
bromhexine hydrochloride sustained-release micro-tablets and a preparation process thereof. The
bromhexine hydrochloride sustained-release micro-tablets are prepared from the following raw materials through direct
powder compression: 5-20 parts of
bromhexine hydrochloride, 15-35 parts of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 5-15 parts of carbomer, 5-15 parts of
ethyl cellulose, 10-40 parts of
microcrystalline cellulose, 2-8 parts of povidone and 0.5-5 parts of a
lubricant. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sieving and mixing the raw materials except the
lubricant for 20-40 minutes, adding the
lubricant, continuously mixing for 3-8 minutes, and pressing into micro-tablets with the
diameter of 2-4mm. Wherein the povidone is added in the form of
dry powder, is used as a
dry powder adhesive, and forms a composite sustained-release skeleton together with the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, the carbomer and the
ethyl cellulose to cooperatively control
drug release. Through the synergistic effect of the ternary composite skeleton and the dry povidone
powder, 24-hour stable release of
bromhexine hydrochloride is realized, and the release behavior is not influenced by pH; the process avoids the influence of damp and hot factors on the
drug stability; the
dosage form of the micro-tablet obviously improves the medication compliance of children, old people and patients with
dysphagia.
