Abstract
A transmucosal therapeutic composition comprising a physiologically active peptide or protein and a cytidine nucleotide derivative was produced. The above composition results in a satisfactory transmucosal absorption of physiologically active peptides or proteins which are otherwise hardly absorbed from the mucosa. Since it allows self-administration to the mucosa, such as the nasal, vaginal or digestive tract mucosa, in lieu of injection which causes pain, the invention is of great utility as a pharmaceutical dosage form for physiologically active peptides or proteins which must be administered over a protracted time.
