Controlled release core tablets are prepared by using controlled release polymers with different viscosity grades, such as hypromellose K4M Cr (2663-.
Different concentrations of these controlled release polymers were used: the content of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M Cr is 0-16% of the weight of the controlled release matrix, the content of the HPMC K100M is 0-16% of the weight of the controlled release matrix, and the content of the carrageenan is 0-3% of the weight of the controlled release matrix.
Example 1-1: the production process using hypromellose comprises the following steps:
carbidopa, levodopa, microcrystalline cellulose PH101, mannitol, and citric acid were passed through a #20 mesh screen, added to a high shear granulator, and mixed. Povidone K30 aqueous solution was added thereto and granulated. After drying the granules in the fluidized bed, they were dry-sized using a dry-sizer equipped with a 0.8mm screen. The hypromellose was passed through a 20 mesh screen, transferred to a blender with the granules and mixed. Magnesium stearate was passed through a #60 mesh screen, added and mixed. The mixture was compressed with a 5.5mm round punch and filled into capsules.
Examples 1 to 2: the production process using carrageenan comprises the following steps:
carbidopa, levodopa, microcrystalline cellulose PH101, mannitol, citric acid and carrageenan are sieved by a 20-mesh sieve, and transferred to a high-shear granulator to be mixed. Povidone K30 aqueous solution was added thereto and granulated. After drying the granules in the fluidized bed, they were dry-sized using a dry-sizer equipped with a 0.8mm screen. The dry whole granules were transferred to a mixer for mixing. Magnesium stearate was passed through a #60 mesh screen, added and mixed. The mixture was compressed with a 5.5mm round punch and filled into capsules.
