PURPOSE: A sustained release capsule composition containing guanfacine is provided to optimally and continuously release guanfacine. CONSTITUTION: A sustained release capsule composition contains: 2 wt% of guanfacine; 60-68 wt% of lactose as a diluents; 13-17 wt% of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a neutral water-swellable polymer for controlling release; 13-17 wt% of sodium polyacrylate as an anionic water-swellable polymer for controlling release; 2-4 wt% of croscarmellose sodium as a disintegrant; and 0.8-1.2 wt% of magnesium stearate as a lubricant. A method for preparing the capsule composition comprises: a step of mixing the ingredients and pressing the mixture; and a step of filling the prepared sustained release composition in a capsule.
