In particular, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation in the form of powder comprising at least a first and a second powder, in which at least said first powder contains an active agent in an amount greater than 1% by weight with respect to the weight of said first powder. Both the powders comprise leucine in an amount ranging from 5 to 70% by weight with respect to the weight of each powder and a sugar in an amount ranging from 20 to 90% by weight with respect to the weight of each powder. The composition has a fine particle fraction (FPF) greater than 60% and a delivered fraction (DF) greater than 80.
