The inventor selected 100 double-layer tablets with the sustained-release layers without hole, 100 double-layer tablets with the sustained-release layers having holes with diameters of 3 mm, 4 mm or 6 mm respectively to implement the friability testing and comparison study by using the friability tester, wherein the raw materials, the pharmaceutical excipients and the proportion were implemented in accordance with the embodiment 1; and see Table 2 for the result.

TABLE 2
Result of friability testing and comparison of double-layer tablet
			Quantity of tablets subjected to
	Type of the testing		breaking in 100 tablets
	double-layer tablet		Number	Number
	Number	Diameter	of tablets	of tablets
	of holes	of hole	broken	laminated
	0	—	20	11
	1	6 mm	9	0
	1	4 mm	1	0
	1	3 mm	1	0

It was proved from the result of said friability test that:

• 1) The occurrence rate of breaking of the double-layer tablets having holes in the invention was reduced greatly, and no lamination occurred.
• 2) The size of the diameter of the hole plays an active role in preventing lamination; but the degree of breaking of the double-layer tablet would be affected when the diameter of the hole is great.

Test 2 Effect of High Humidity to Stability of Medicine

20 double-layer tablets were selected from the embodiment 4 respectively, and were placed in the stability testing box to observe after 24 h, wherein the humidity was set at RH95%; and the temperature was set at 25° C. See Table 3 for the result.

TABLE 3
Effect of high humidity to stability of medicine
		Type of testing	Number of tablets

	In accordance	0	—	17
	with the	1	6 mm	0
	embodiment 4	1	4 mm	0
		1	3 mm	0

The result indicated that the double-layer tablet of the invention still had nice stability and was not subjected to lamination under the condition that the ambient humidity was great, the swelling degree of the quick release layer was greater than that of the sustained-release layer and the double-layer tablet could not be separated easily although the quick release layer in the prescription included the super disintegrating agent, and the disintegrating agent had strong hygroscopicity.

Test 3 Effect of Number of Holes in Double-Layer Tablet to Stability

The double-layer tablets with sustained-release layers having no hole and the double-layer tablets having sustained-release layers with one, two and three holes were pressed in accordance with the formula in embodiment 3 (the quick release layer included only the active ingredients and excipient, but did not include the binder); 20 tablets were selected respectively to implement the friability tests in the friability tester and carry out comparison study; and see Table 4 for the result.

The result indicates that:

1. The double-layer tablets with sustained-release layer having holes are not subjected to lamination.

2. The tablets having small diameters would less likely to be broken.

20 double-layer tablets with sustained-release layer having no hole and 20 double-layer tablets with sustained-release layers having holes of different diameters were prepared in accordance with the formula and method in the embodiment 4 respectively, and were placed in the stability testing box, wherein the humidity was set at RH95%; and the temperature was set at 25° C.

The quick release layer of the formula includes the super disintegrating agent having strong hygroscopicity; the degree of swelling of the quick release layer is greater than that of the sustained-release layer, and upper layer and the lower layer of the double-layer tablet without hole may be separated from each other when the ambient humidity is great. The quick release granules in the hole may swell after absorbing the moisture when the sustained-release layer has the hole, and the quick release layer may be combined with the sustained-release layer more tightly. Therefore, the double-layer tablet having hole is not subjected to separation during the test. The result indicated that the double-layer tablet of the invention could keep the stability in the high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

20 double-layer tablets with sustained-release layer having no hole and 20 double-layer tablets with sustained-release layers having different number of holes were prepared in accordance with the formula and method in the embodiment 3 respectively, and were placed in the friability tester to carry out the friability testing and comparison study, wherein the quick release layer included only the active ingredients and the excipient, but did not include the binder. Moreover, see Table 8 for the result.
