A method for improvement of tolerance for therapeutically effective agents delivered by inhalation comprising a pretreatment of a patient with a nebulized lidocaine or a lidocaine-like compound administered immediately or up to about thirty minutes before administration of the primary therapeutically effective agent. The pretreatment of the patient with the nebulized lidocaine or a lidocaine-like compound improves airway tolerance and deposition of the agent in the lungs and makes such deposition more safe, efficacious, controllable and predictable. The method of the invention is especially useful for enhancement of deposition of immunosuppressive agents in the lung(s) of transplant patients, improved tolerance of the drugs by reducing cough, and improving pulmonary drug deposition.
一种改善通过吸入给药的有效治疗剂耐受性的方法,包括在给药主要有效治疗剂之前立即或最多三十分钟用雾化利多卡因或利多卡因类化合物对患者进行预处理。用雾化利多卡因或利多卡因类化合物对患者进行预处理可提高气道耐受性和药剂在肺部的沉积,并使这种沉积更加安全、有效、可控和可预测。本发明的方法尤其适用于增强免疫抑制剂在移植患者肺部的沉积,通过减少咳嗽改善药物耐受性,以及改善肺部药物沉积。
