PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compound of a peptide compound that can be stored at an elevated temperature for a long period of time and that is particularly useful in an implantable delivery device for long-term delivery of a medicine. A stable non-aqueous formulation of a peptide compound comprising at least one peptide compound and at least one non-aqueous protic solvent, wherein the peptide is dissolved in the non-aqueous protic solvent, The formulation is stable even after irradiation. The peptide compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of leuprolide, LHRH, nafarelin and goserelin. The non-aqueous protic solvent is preferably selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and glycerol. [Selection figure] None |
