POLYMERIC DRUG AGENTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF FIBROTIC DISORDERS

摘要

Agents and methods for treatment of adhesions and fibrotic diseases, through the release of drugs that retard or inhibit fibrotic tissue production. A method for releasing fibrotic tissue-inhibiting agents from a polymer is provided. The polymer/drug combination can be applied directly to affected site as a liquid, gel, or paste. Alternatively, the polymer/drug combination can be injected ( intravenous, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous) in an appropriate vehicle.
