Reconstituted Peptides

Meaning

Reconstituted peptides are therapeutic peptides that are initially supplied in a lyophilized, or freeze-dried, powder form and must be dissolved in a sterile solvent, typically bacteriostatic water, prior to injection. This process of reconstitution is necessary to activate the peptide for clinical use and ensure proper bioavailability for systemic absorption. The stability and efficacy of the peptide are highly dependent on correct handling and sterile technique during this preparation step.
