ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for arresting, protecting and/or preserving an organ which includes administering effective amounts of (I) a potassium channel opener or agonist and/or an adenosine receptor agonist and (II) local anaesthetic to a subject in need thereof. The present invention also relates to a method for arresting, protecting and/or preserving an organ which comprises adding a composition which includes effective amounts of (I) a potassium channel opener or agonist and/or an adenosine receptor agonist and (II) a local anaesthetic to the organ. The present invention further provides a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition which includes effective amounts of (I) a potassium channel opener or agonist and/or an adenosine receptor agonist and (II) a local anaesthetic.
