AQUEOUS PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING A BIOLOGIC THERAPEUTIC AGENT AND GUANIDINE OR A GUANIDINE DERIVATIVE AND AN INJECTION INCLUDING THE COMPOSITION.

摘要

The present invention is directed to an aqueous pharmaceutical composition, particularly an aqueous ophthalmic composition, suitable as an injection, particularly an intravitreal injection. The composition includes a biologic therapeutic agent (e.g., an isolated monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a C5 protein) that tends to raise the viscosity of the composition and a guanidine and/or guanidine derivative (e.g., L-arginine) that tends to lower the viscosity of the composition.
