Moreover, it is desired to obtain a technol 0001. The present invention relates to a technology that is especially Suitable for designing oral pharmaceutical compo ogy that is Suitable for use for many different drug Substances, sitions that are useful in the treatment of diseases where i.e. a technology that is relatively flexible with respect to how absorption e.g. takes place over a large part of the gastrointes to obtain a desired release pattern of the active substance. tinal tract (e.g. in stomach, the Small intestine as well as in the Thus, a relatively simple technology is desired that enables colon). Accordingly, the present invention provides a compo combination of e.g. delayed release followed by controlled sition that enables a first release of the active Substance (e.g. (extended) release, delayed release followed by immediate a burst or a controlled release) followed by a second release of release, burst release followed by delayed release followed by the same active Substance (e.g. a burstora controlled release). either controlled or immediate release, burst release followed The design of the composition takes into account the fact that by controlled release, controlled release followed by con different conditions are present in different parts of the gas trolled release or immediate release.
