## Abstract

The present invention relates to an aqueous solution comprising burlulipase which is characterized in that it contains calcium ions. In particular, it also relates to corresponding pharmaceuticals. Such pharmaceuticals are suitable for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. These pharmaceuticals are particularly suitable for treating patients having cystic fibrosis and in pediatrics. Another aspect of the present invention relates to container-packaged solutions and pharmaceuticals as mentioned above, which are containers produced by the blow-fill-seal method, and to methods for producing such packaged solutions and pharmaceuticals.
