GRANULATED GRANULE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND TABLET

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a well-granulative granulated product containing a dried product of plant extract such as crude drug extract powder or Chinese herbal medicine extract powder, and to provide well-disintegrable tablets using the above granulated product(granules). SOLUTION: The method for producing the plant extract-containing granulated product(granules) comprises admixing/dispersing precipitated silica in water followed by addition of plant extract dried particles and making an agitation and granulation and then drying. By this method, the objective granulated product(granules) containing a dried product of plant extract such as crude drug extract powder or Chinese herbal medicine extract powder can be practically produced. The tablets made using the above granulated product(granules) are good in disintegrability. This method is particularly useful when tablets rich in such a dried product of plant extract are to be produced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
