Abstract

A pharmaceutical formulation comprising a growth hormone pretreated with zinc and optionally lysine or calcium ions shows a very high stability against deamidation, oxidation and cleavage of peptide bonds. The stability of the product allows for the storing and shipment thereof in a lyophilized state or in the form of a dissolved or re-dissolved formulation at ambient temperature.
