ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for prevention of adhesion formation, whereby an effective amount of quinacrine as active agent is administered for a period of time sufficient to permit tissue repair. The active agent is preferably administered in conjunction with a delivery vehicle (e.g., microcapsules, microspheres, lipid-based systems, viscous instillates and absorbable mechanical barriers) useful for maintaining local concentrations of the compound at an effective level.
