Angiomax is supplied in single-use vials as a white lyophilized cake, which is sterile. Each vial contains 250 mg bivalirudin, 125 mg mannitol, and sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to 5-6 (equivalent of approximately 12.5 mg sodium). When reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection, the product yields a clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution, pH 5-6.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = ANGIOMAX (BIVALIRUDIN) INJECTION, POWDER, LYOPHILIZED, FOR SOLUTION [THE MEDICINES COMPANY] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=911cd48f-01ea-4dec-b30c-95e7e0ea9d2a | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 10 March 2014 }}</ref>
