The invention discloses guanfacine
hydrochloride sustained-release
pellets and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. The guanfacine
hydrochloride sustained-release pellet comprises a
drug-containing pellet core and a sustained-release layer, wherein the sustained-release layer is coated on the outer surface of the
drug-containing pellet core; the
medicine-containing
pill core comprises the following components: guanfacine
hydrochloride, a filling agent, a sustained-release material and a lubricating agent; and the sustained-release layer comprises the following components: a retardant, a
plasticizer and an anti-sticking agent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing guanfacine hydrochloride and auxiliary materials into a
drug-containing
pill core through an
extrusion-rolling process, wherein the drug-containing
pill core contains part of a sustained-release material for preventing sudden release of a drug; and then
coating a sustained-release layer outside the drug-containing pellet core through
fluidized bed coating to prepare the guanfacine hydrochloride sustained-release pellet. The guanfacine hydrochloride sustained-release pellet is free of burst release after being taken, is not influenced by individual differences of human bodies and pH of intestinal tracts, can tolerate
peristalsis and
extrusion of gastrointestinal tracts, is continuously released within 24 hours, keeps a proper concentration level in in-vivo blood, and is beneficial to reducing adverse reactions and continuously exerting drug effects.
