Abstract: Formulations containing NPH insulin are useful for treating hyperglycemic disorders, such as diabetes, in a mammal in need of treatment. One such formulation, which is preferably administered parenterally, more preferably by injection, comprises IGF-I and NPH insulin, in amounts of from or about 1 to 10 mg IGF-I and from or about 0.2 to 2 mg NPH insulin in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Another such formulation comprises IGF-I and NPH insulin in an acetic acid salt buffer. Still another formulation comprises IGF-I and NPH insulin in a weight ratio of NPH insulin to IGF-I of from or about 10:1 to 1:50 (w/w), from or about 0.05 to 0.3M of an osmolyte, from or about 0.1 to 10 mg/mL of a stabilizer, and from or about 5 to 100 mM of a buffer at from or about pH 5 to 7. A still further composition comprises NPH insulin in an acetic acid salt buffer.

Abstract: A formulation for IGF-I is disclosed that is useful in treating hyperglycemic disorders and, in combination with growth hormone, in enhancing growth of a mammal. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a formulation of growth hormone and IGF-I from the IGF-I formulation. The IGF-I formulation comprises about 2-20 mg/ml of IGF-I, about 2-50 mg/ml of an osmolyte, about 1-15 mg/ml of a stabilizer, and a buffered solution at about pH 5-5.5, optionally with a surfactant.

Abstract: A combined formulation for IGF-I and growth hormone (GH) is useful for enhancing growth of a mammal. This formulation, which may be administered by infusion or injection to enhance growth, comprises IGF-I and GH, each in amounts of 0.1 to 100 mg/ml, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier at a pH of about 5-6 containing a surfactant, wherein the amounts of IGF-I and GH in the composition are effective to promote growth of a mammal more than an equivalent dose of IGF-I or GH alone, and wherein the weight ratio of IGF-I to GH in the composition ranges from 0.002:1 to 240:1.
