Abstract
A granular medicine with slow drug-release characteristics that is sufficiently absorbed in the intestines, in which the granular medicine has a hollow spherical structure, a drug is dispersed in the shell, which mainly consists of an enteron-soluble polymer. The method for preparing the medicine includes the steps of: (a) mixing a hydrophilic or hydrophobic drug with an enteron-soluble polymer in a mixture of an aliphatic alcohol and a chlorohydrocarbon; and (b) pouring this mixture into water or an aqueous medium, and stirring the solution to precipitate the medicine.
