COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POORLY WATER SOLUBLE PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS AND ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS

摘要

The present invention provides compositions comprising a poorly water solubl e pharmaceutical agent, a carrier protein, and an antimicrobial agent, wherein significant microbial growth is inhibited in the composition. The amount of the antimicrobial agent in the composition may be below the level that induc es a toxicological effect or at a level where a potential side effect can be controlled or tolerated. Also provided are compositions comprising a poorly water soluble pharmaceutical agent, a carrier protein, a sugar, and optional ly an antimicrobial agent. Methods of using the compositions are also provided.
