[Problem] To provide pharmaceutical preparations where the dissolution of
an amine drug can be effectively controlled. [Resolution Means]
Slow-release granules formed by providing a coating layer containing
polyvinyl acetate and surfactant on drug-containing particles comprising
an amine drug and a water-soluble binder coated onto the surface of a
core material; together with a method for the production of slow-release
granules which includes (i) a stage in which a liquid comprising an amine
drug and a water-soluble binder dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous
solvent is sprayed onto the surface of a core material and dried to form
a drug layer, and (ii) a stage in which an aqueous coating liquid
containing polyvinyl acetate and surfactant is sprayed onto the
drug-containing particles obtained in stage (i) and dried to form a
coating layer.
