Method for producing a sustained release formulation.
摘要
<p>Described is a method for preparing a sustained release formulation utiliing collagen and/or gelatin as a carrier, which comprises the steps:
(i) preparing a uniform and high concentrated mixture with respect to the collagen and/or gelatin by blending an active ingredient, said collagen and/or gelatin, and water or an admixture consisting of water and a hydrophilic organic solvent under one of the conditions selected from:
(A) the pH of the mixture is kept below 5 and the salt concentration of the mixture is retained below fiber-forming concentration;
(B) chemically modified collagen and/or gelatin is employed; and
(C) glucose is added to the mixture;
(ii) molding the resultant mixture; and
(iii) gradually eliminating the solvent from the molded product.</p>
