Abstract
A biologically active composition comprising a solution of an active agent dissolved in a glass-forming carrier, which carrier comprises a glass-forming substance (A) containing a plasticizer (B), the amount of plasticizer preferably being selected so that the composition has a non-solid consistency. The composition can be prepared by dissolving the active agent in a melted mixture of the glass-forming substance and the plasticizer at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of said active agent. Use of the glass-forming carrier for dissolving a biologically active agent.
