Disclosed are stable non-aqueous single phase viscous vehicles and to formulations utilizing such vehicles. The formulations comprise at least one beneficial agent uniformly suspended in the vehicle, said vehicle comprising a solvent, a surfactant and a polymer, wherein the solvent, surfactant and polymer are not the same, and the solvent is a lauryl alcohol. The formulation is capable of being stored at temperatures ranging from cold to body temperature for long periods of time. The formulations are capable of being uniformly delivered from drug delivery systems at an exit shear rate of between about 1 to 1 x 10<7> reciprocal second. |
