Stabilization against aggregation is commonly attained by addition of different excipients like sugars, surfactants, buffers, salts, amino acids, polymers etc. Generally these excipients are required in combination for stabilization. Sugars are required at a higher concentration and commonly used surfactants like polysorbates have...
