The invention relates to an
etoricoxib oral
microemulsion preparation and a preparation method thereof. The
etoricoxib oral
microemulsion preparation comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 1-3% of
etoricoxib, 3-10% of
oil phase, 3-10% of emulsifier, 3-10% of co-emulsifier, 0-0.2% of
sweetening agent, 0-0.5% of essence, 0.1-0.5% of
preservative and 70-90% of water. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding the etoricoxib in the
oil phase and dissolving; secondly, adding the emulsifier and the co-emulsifier in the
oil phase to form crude
emulsion; and finally, transferring the crude
emulsion into a high-pressure
homogenizer, adding water, and homogenizing under
high pressure to obtain the
microemulsion preparation. Oil-in-water type microemulsion liquid drops wrap the etoricoxib, bad taste of medicines is improved, the problem that the etoricoxib is difficultly dissolved into water is solved,
dissolution is improved, and
bioavailability is also improved. In addition, through addition of the
sweetening agent and the essence, medication compliance of a patient is improved. Raw materials used in the preparation do not need to be subjected to special treatment, special equipment is not required, the preparation method is easy to operate, quality of products is stable, and the etoricoxib oral microemulsion preparation is suitable for large-scale production.
