Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for oral administration comprising PTH, wherein the in vitro release of PTH-when tested in a dissolution test of pharmacopoeia standard-is delayed with at least 2 hours and once the release starts, at least 90% w/w such as, e.g., at least 95% or at least 99% of all PTH contained in the composition is released within at the most 2 hours. The composition may also comprises a calcium containing compound and/or a vitamin, D. In particular, PTH is administered in combination with a calcium-containing compound for the treatment or prevention of bone-related diseases, so that I) an effective amount of a calcium-containing compound is administered to lower the plasma level of endogenous PTH, and II) an effective amount of PTH is administered to obtain a peak concentration of Pm once the endogeneous PTH level is lowered. This present a potential therapeutic or prophylactic regimen for bone-related disorders including osteoporosis.

Abstract: 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.
Abstract: An 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.
