Disclosed are tablets comprising at least one inner layer of gum base containing one or more active pharmaceutical, dietetic or nutritional ingredients and at least one outer layer comprising excipients/compression adjuvants and possibly active ingredients which are the same as or different from those present in the inner layer.
Said tablets are obtainable by direct compression of mixtures or granulates of the various components of each layer.
A composition comprising:
(a) a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors or a pharmaceutically effective salt thereof, and
(b) a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more antimuscarinic agents or a pharmaceutically effective salt thereof is provided. The composition is useful in treating disorders or diseases of the central nervous system, and particularly useful in treating incontinence.
