Abstract
Disclosed is a stabilized aqueous composition for administration to a patient comprising a biologically active peptide, a buffer, a quaternary amine-type preservative or disinfectant, and an osmotic pressure-controlling agent, which composition can be stored and used at room temperature. The buffer stabilizes the pH of the composition between about 4 and 6. The preferred buffer contains citrate and/or phosphate, and the preferred preservative or disinfectant is benzalkonium chloride. The composition protects the peptide contained therein from adhering to container surfaces, particularly in containers made of polymeric materials.
