ABSTRACT:
A novel method for preparing a subject for surgery by administering to said subject a composition which contains at least one steroid, an alcohol and a vehicle which is distinct from said alcohol. It has been discovered that there is a synergistic effect between the steroid and the alcohol which increases the anesthetic effect and the analgesic effect and shortens recovery times.
