The present invention relates to a dry powder composition of hydroxyethyl starch suitable for reconstitution and comprising hydroxyethyl starch of a molecular weight of up to about 2,000,000, a degree of substitution of from about 0.4 to about 0.7, and containing less than about 0.5 parts by weight of ethylene glycol per 100 parts of the hydroxyethyl starch, the hydroxyethyl starch comprising from about 4% to about 40% by weight of the composition. The composition includes at least one soluble component in addition to the hydroxyethyl starch chosen from dextrose, lactose or mannitol. |
