Abstract

A drug which is preferably usable for inhibiting inflammation in chronic and autoimmune inflammatory processes and/or produces vasodilating and sympathicolytic effects. This use is achieved through a drug from a mixture containing a local anesthetic of the ester type or amide type, preferably procaine hydrochloride, water, and at least one substance for adjusting the pH of the mixture in the range of 7.6 to 8.6. It is possible by this drug to significantly increase the injectable amount of local anesthetic compared with commercially available and known drugs containing a local anesthetic as active ingredient. The mixture can be applied continuously by subcutaneous or intravenous infusion.
