1. A process for providing a quantity of a drug substance, comprising: providing a substrate in the form of a sheet of flexible material having patches of a coating of a sticky substance on its surface with areas free from the sticky substance located between said patches, bringing drug substance into close proximity with the sticky substance so that a portion of the drug substance becomes stuck to the sticky substance, removing from the substrate excess drug substance which has not become stuck thereto, isolating a unit of the substrate comprising an area of the sticky substance and the portion of the drug substance stuck thereto by dividing the substrate at areas free from the sticky substance located between said patches, then processing the substrate to compact the substrate such that the sticky substance causes areas of the surface of the substrate to stick together to thereby enclose the drug substance within the compacted substrate.
