摘要:
The present invention provides a sustained-release composition by which a sustained-release effect can be obtained for a long time when injecting microparticles of the composition in an amount that can be subcutaneously or intramuscularly injected to a human with ease and without pain. The composition comprises porous hydroxyapatite microparticles having pores embolized by filling the pores in the microparticles with a biologically active drug, a human serum protein, and a mucopolysaccharide, and adding a divalent metal ion. Alternatively, the composition comprises porous hydroxyapatite microparticles having pores embolized in the outer layer by filling the pores in the microparticles with a biologically active drug, a human serum protein, and a water-soluble calcium salt one after another or at one time, and then adding sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, or an aqueous carbonate ion solution.
