ABSTRACT:
Aerosol compositions used for anesthetizing mammals in both human and veterinary applications include prilocaine base solubilized in the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) propellants 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane. Prilocaine base has been found to be readily soluble in HFC propellants when combined in liquid or micro rod form, and a solution stable to temperatures as low as -82.degree. C. is formed upon combination of the two components. In the aerosol compositions, the HFCs are the only propellants used. Additional pharmaceutical constituents can also be combined the the prilocaine base/HFC composition to provide a multi-component anesthetic, and it has been found that the presence of prilocaine in the combination can assist in solubilizing and/or suspending these pharmaceutical consituents. Some example pharmaceutical compositions within the practice of this invention include HFC, prilocaine base, and a pharmaceutical other prilocaine selected from the group consisting of bronchodilators, antiinflammatories, antitusives, vasoactive drugs, vasoconstrictors, antibiotics, peptides, steroids, enzymes, antihistamines, hormones, enzyme and receptor inhibitors and agonists, 5-aminolevulinic acid, antiseptics, disinfectants, procaine, cocaine, chloroprocaine, tetractaine, mepivacaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, etidocaine, ropivacaine, benzocaine, and phenylephrine.
