Abstract: The present invention provides a controlled release composition showing release of an active ingredient (proton pump inhibitor) controlled in two or more steps at different release rates, which contains 1) a release-controlled part A capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate, 2) a release-controlled part B capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate lower than the release rate of the release-controlled part A, and where necessary, 3) a release-controlled part C capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate faster than the release rate of the release-controlled part B, wherein the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part B precedes the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part A (when release-controlled part C is contained, the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part C precedes the release of the active

Abstract: A body massaging apparatus of a circulated water current type to be used for lean figure beauty, comprises bathtub for storing therein water and accomodating therein at least one patient in a state close to a lying attitude with the face upward. The bathtub is formed with an inlet opening for introducing the water into the bathtub and an outlet opening for discharging the water from the bathtub. The inlet opening is positioned to confront the back of the patient's body, while the outlet opening is positioned opposite to the inlet opening. A circulating conduit for circulating the water through the bathub is disposed outside of the bathtub and connects the outlet opening with the inlet opening.
