The present invention is to provide a sustained release preparation
comprising a drug-containing core substance and a multilayered coating
layer covering the core substance, wherein all adjacent layers in the
multilayered coating layer contain mutually different hydrophobic organic
compound-water-soluble polymer mixtures; and, a method of producing a
sustained release preparation, having a multilayered coating layer in
which adjacent layers contain different hydrophobic organic
compound-water-soluble polymer mixtures, which comprises spray-coating a
solution containing a hydrophobic organic compound-water-soluble polymer
mixture onto a drug-containing core substance, continuing to spray-coat a
solution containing a different hydrophobic organic
compound-water-soluble polymer mixture onto the resulting coating layer,
and repeating this step.
