Abstract

A method for nasal administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a hydrophilic bioactive substance and any one of (a) to (c): (a) a peptide having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a peptide having the same amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 except that one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted and/or added, the peptide having nasal mucosal permeability; (c) a peptide having an amino acid sequence represented by the reverse sequence of (a) or (b), the peptide having nasal mucosal permeability, with the proviso that a C-terminal amidated peptide is excluded. A hydrophilic bioactive substance having a low transmucosal absorption capability which has conventionally been able to be administered by only injection can be nasally administered. Such a pharmaceutical composition is useful for improvement of the pain and the inconvenience of patients caused by administration by injection.
