| abstract |
The invention relates to a fluid, milky microcrystalline aqueous suspension of a peptide or peptidomimetic and a counter-ion of a strong proton donor in water, wherein the peptide or peptidomimetic and counter-ion are present in amounts and at a molar ratio sufficient to form the suspension upon mixing and without formation of a gel. The invention also relates to lyophilized compositions that include a dried suspension, methods of making the lyophilized composition, methods of preparing the suspension, and sustained release formulations prepared by the methods. |
