  • Patent number: 5266301
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for rapid in vivo assessment of intravenous irritation of pharmaceutical compositions. The assessment of the vascular irritability of new pharmaceutical agents, vehicles and their pharmaceutical compositions has traditionally been limited to histological characterization of postinfusion damage. These studies utilized about 15 conscious animals and required about two weeks to complete. The method of the present invention in contrast utilizes fewer animals and can be completed in as short as only about 2-4 hr. In addition the direct observation is contemporaneous with the infusion and utilized a central vein.
