The invention relates to a
levetiracetam sustained-release micro-tablet and a preparation method thereof. The
levetiracetam sustained-release micro-tablet is composed of a tablet core and a
coating layer, and the
mass ratio of the tablet core to the
coating layer is (100-105): (25-30); the tablet core is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by
mass: 45-65 parts of
levetiracetam, 1-5 parts of a foaming retardant, 5-15 parts of a retardant reinforcing agent, 20-40 parts of a filling agent and 0.5-3 parts of a flow aid; the
coating layer is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by
mass: 15-25 parts of a coating material and 2-8 parts of a pore-
foaming agent. According to the preparation method,
magnesium stearate or analogues thereof are excessively used during preparation of the levetiracetam sustained-release micro-tablets for the first time, an organic
foaming agent is added, the
path length and complexity of
drug release are increased, the speed of drugs passing through hydrophobic pore channels is slowed down due to the hydrophobicity of a retarding
enhancer, the sustained-release effect is achieved, and the sustained-release effect is achieved. The levetiracetam sustained-release micro-tablet can uniformly release the effective component levetiracetam within 24 hours, and the sustained-
release time of the levetiracetam sustained-release micro-tablet is effectively prolonged.
