PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE POLYPEPTIDE-CONTAINING PHARMACEUTICALCOMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a physiologically active polypeptide, an absorption promoting agent consisting of a combination of an organic acid and a fatty acid sucrose ester in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The composition is suitable for oral administration and for application to the oral cavity, by which the polypeptide can sufficiently be absorbed through the intestinal tract or mucous membranes in the oral cavity. The pharmaceutical composition exhibits the desired physiological activities without suffering from enzymolysis.
