A process for producing a medicine having a drug containing layer, a first functional layer superimposed directly or via an interlayer on one major surface side of the drug containing layer and a second functional layer superimposed directly or via an interlayer on the other major surface side o f the drug containing layer. It is intended to provide a process for producing a medicine wherein the heating time for drug can be shortened as extensively a s possible and the number of steps required for medicine production can be minimized. In particular, the process comprises providing first intermediate (11a) having first drug containing layer (3a) wherein a thermoplastic polyme r is contained as a base agent and first functional layer (2a) superimposed on one major surface side of the first drug containing layer (3a) with the othe r major surface side of the first drug containing layer (3a) exposed; providin g second intermediate (11b) having second drug containing layer (3b) wherein a thermoplastic polymer is contained as a base agent and second functional lay er (2b) superimposed on one major surface side of the second drug containing layer (3b) with the other major surface side of the second drug containing layer (3b) exposed; and effecting hot-melt bonding of the first drug containing layer (3a) of the first intermediate (11a) to the second drug containing layer (3b) of the second intermediate (11b).
