The present invention relates to a composition for oral administration
containing an alkylenedioxybenzene derivative represented by the general
formula (I): (wherein m represents an integer of 2 to 5, and n represents
an integer of 1 to 3) or an acid addition salt thereof, which allows for
duration of the drug concentration in plasma. By dispersing a compound
represented by the general formula (I) in a matrix containing a synthetic
