Abstract
Abstract 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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising: (A) a core containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient and succinic acid; and (B) a porous cellulose film formed on the surface of said core by spraying a water-organic solvent mixture containing ethyl cellulose or a mixture of ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose, said porous cellulose film having a porosity of about 0.4 to 0.9 calculated according to the formula: ##EQU2##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising: (A) a core containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient and succinic acid; and (B) a porous cellulose film formed on the surface of said core by spraying a water-organic solvent mixture containing ethyl cellulose or a mixture of ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose, said porous cellulose film having a porosity of about 0.4 to 0.9 calculated according to the formula: ##EQU2##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The preparation according to claim 1, wherein said porous film has a porosity of about 0.5 to 0.85.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The preparation according to claim 1, wherein said porous film comprises ethyl cellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The preparation according to claim 1, wherein said porous film comprises ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The preparation according to claim 4, wherein said porous film comprises 0.05 to 0.5 part by weight of said hydroxypropyl cellulose per 1 part by weight of said ethyl cellulose.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
69 words
A method of producing a controlled release pharmaceutical preparation which comprises spray-coating a water-organic solvent mixture containing ethyl cellulose or a mixture of ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose onto the surface of a core containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient and succinic acid to produce a porous cellulose film on said core, said porous cellulose film having a porosity of about 0.4 to 0.9 calculated according to the formula: ##EQU3##
Claim 8
Independent Claim
69 words
