The application belongs to the technical field of chemical
medicine sustained-release preparation, and proposes a
glipizide sustained-release
capsule and a preparation method thereof.The
glipizide sustained-release
capsule is prepared by filling microtablet A with a
release time interval of 0-6h and microtablet B with a
release time interval of 6-12h in a quantity of 2:3;wherein, the microtablet A comprises
glipizide, a skeleton material, a filler, an aqueous binder solution and a
lubricant; the microtablet B is prepared by
coating the
capsule prescription amount of 60% of the microtablet A with a sustained-release
coating. By designing two kinds of release microtablets in the sustained-release capsule, the two kinds of microtablets are responsible for their respective release intervals, and are mutually coordinated and supplemented to realize a smooth release curve, and the in-vitro release behavior of the original preparation is highly coincident, and the preparation process of the two kinds of microtablets can be coordinated, and has a greater adjustment space.
