| abstract |
A prolonged releasing pharmaceutical preparation is provided carrying a physiologically active substance, particularly, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or a maxadilan (MAX). This pharmaceutical preparation can attain the expected effects by incorporating the physiologically active substance into a combination, as carriers for the physiologically active substance, of a cellulosic polymer and at least one auxiliary component selected from the group consisting of fats and oils, waxes, fatty acids, saccharides and polyacrylate ester derivatives. The pharmaceutical preparation can conveniently be used, in living bodies, particularly as an intrathecal implantation-type preparation. |
