Abstract
A formulation for inducing sustained local anesthesia in a patient comprising a substrate comprising a high load of local anesthetic by weight and an effective amount of a biocompatible, controlled release material to obtain a reversible nerve blockade or anesthesia effect when implanted or injected in a patient, and a non-toxic glucocorticosteroid agent effective to prolong the duration of the local anesthesia for a time period longer than that obtainable from the substrate without the glucocorticosteroid agent.
