Lipid dispersions and methods of use

摘要

Methods for preventing or ameliorating the transient adverse physiological response to particulate dispersions (TAPR response) when these dispersions are administered parenterally to a patient. The methods comprise the administration of a prophylactic anti-inflammatory drug prior to administration of the particulate-containing material, and optionally during administration as well. Preferred drugs are cyclooxygenase inhibitors and corticosteroids.
