Abstract
Colloidal suspensions comprising a therapeutic agent and squalene. Squalene binds to certain compounds, such as gacyclidine, much more tightly than other drug carriers, such as polylactic glycolic acid. Including squalene in the particulate phase sequesters the therapeutic agent and provides superior stability at room or body temperature.
