A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising (a) a core containing a pharmaceutically active substance and an organic acid, and (b) a coating film formed on the surface of the core by aqueous coating of a water-insoluble and water-slightly permeable acrylic polymer containing a trimethylammonium-ethyl group, which exhibits well controlled dissolution and release of the pharmaceutically active substance when administered and can maintain the desired blood level of the active substance for a long period of time, and a method for producing the preparation.

Controlled release succinic acid microcapsules coated with aqueous

A sustained release pharmaceutical preparation comprising a carrier, an effective ingredient layer containing a medicinal compound and a heat-meltable material as a binder which is formed around said carrier and a coating layer containing a non-heat-meltable dissolution-controlling agent and a heat-meltable material as a binder which is formed around said effective ingredient layer and the process for preparing the same. According to the present invention, the formation of the effective ingredient layer and the formation of the coating layer can be successively carried out in the same apparatus without using any solvents or drying step in short hours to give a sustained release pharmaceutical preparation which can release a medicinal compound at a suitable dissolution rate according to the physical property of the medicinal compound.

Sustained release pharmaceutical preparation and process for preparing

Disclosed is a controlled release pharmaceutical preparation, comprising a core containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient, and a porous film of a hydrophobic polymeric substance or a hydrophobic polymeric substance and a hydrophilic polymeric substance, the core being coated with the porous film. Disclosed is also a method for producing the same. The controlled release pharmaceutical preparation of this invention posseses a desired dissolution rate by controlling the porosity of the porous film.

Controlled release pharmaceutical preparation and method for producing

A process for micronizing a slightly-soluble drug characterized by subjecting a mixture of said drug and a sugar or sugar alcohol to high-speed stirring comminution or impact comminution in order to produce a micronized drug having an average diameter of less than about 2-3 mm. Also provided is a pharmaceutical formulation which comprises the micronized drug.

Process for micronizing slightly-soluble drug

A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising a core containing a medicinal compound and a coating layer containing a water-repellent salt and a water-insoluble and slightly water-permeable acrylic polymer having trimethylammoniumethyl group. Said preparation releases a medicinal compound in a sigmoid type dissolution pattern irrespective of the PH of a dissolution medium.

Controlled release pharmaceutical preparation

A controlled release dosage form which consists essentially of a core containing a medicament; an inner coating layer composed of ethylcellulose and a hydrophobic substance; and an outer coating layer containing a medicament are disclosed. Said dosage form shows rapid increase in blood concentration of the medicament and at the same time maintains the high level of the blood concentration over a prolonged period time.
