An oral pharmaceutical modified release multiple-units composition for the administration of a therapeutically and/or prophylactically effective amount of a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug substance to obtain both a relatively fast onset of the therapeutic effect and the maintenance of a therapeutically active plasma concentration for a relatively long period of time is disclosed.

Use of a nicotine-cellulose combination for the preparation of a snuff composition for achievement of a fast onset of action of nicotine after application of the snuff composition to the oral cavity of a subject, wherein the composition has a high release rate so that when subjected to an in vitro dissolution test about 45% or more of the total content of nicotine is released within 30 minutes. Moreover, the invention relates to an improved snuff composition for application to the oral cavity.

PCT No. PCT/DK97/00101 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 22, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 22, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 7, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/32573 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1997An oral pharmaceutical modified release multiple-units composition for the administration of an analgesically effective amount of an opoid. The composition comprises at least two fractions wherein individual units containing an opoid are coated with a sustained release coating. A first fraction is adapted to relatively fast release while a second fraction is adapted to a delayed release. Such compositions make possible to obtain both a relatively fast onset of the analgesic effect and the maintenance of analgesically active plasma concentration for a relatively long period of time. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of a composition according to the invention.
