The invention discloses an acemetacin slow-release preparation and a preparation method thereof, which belong to the technical field of
medicine and are used to solve the problems of acemetacin's short
plasma half-life and
short duration of
therapeutic action. It consists of an acemetacin
drug core and a controlled-release layer wrapping the
drug core. The controlled-release layer is composed of a
xanthan gum-
chitosan mixture, wherein the content of
xanthan gum accounts for the total weight of
xanthan gum-
chitosan The percentage is 20% to 80%. In the present invention, the acemetacin
drug core is coated with multiple
layers of controlled-release
layers, and the release speed of the drug is slowed down by increasing the number of
layers of the controlled-release layer or the wrapping rate. Tests have shown that compared with conventional dosage forms, the preparation can
well control the release of the drug, and can maintain the
blood drug concentration of the therapeutic amount within 24 hours in a once-a-day administration mode. It overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art and provides an oral
dosage form that can control the stable release of drugs for a long time, prolong the
curative effect of drugs, reduce adverse reactions, and basically avoid incomplete
drug release.
