The solutions provide a means for alleviating problems associated with drug precipitation at the injection site and/or in the lungs or other organs following parenteral administration. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides. The most common cyclodextrins are a-cyclodextrin, which is composed of a ring of six glucose residues, p-cyclodextrin, which is composed of a ring of seven glucose residues, and y-cyclo- dextrin, which is composed of a ring of eight glucose units. The inside cavity of a cyclodextrin is lipophilic, while the out- side of the cyclodextrin is hydrophilic; this combination of properties has led to widespread study of the natural cyclodextrins, particularly in connection with pharmaceuticals, and many inclusion complexes have been reported, p- Cyclodextrin has been of special interest because of its cavity size, but its relatively low aqueous solubility has limited its use in the pharmaceutical field. Attempts to modify the properties of the natural cyclodextrins have resulted in the development of heptakis (2,6-di- 0-methyl)-p-cyclodextrin, heptakis (2,3,6-tri-0-methyl)-p-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-p-cyclodextrin, p-cyclodextrin- epichlorohydrin polymer and others. For a comprehensive review of cyclodextrins and their use in pharmaceutical research, see Pitha et al, in Controlled Drug Delivery, ed. S.D. Bruck, Vol. I, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida, pp. 125- 148 (1983). For an even more recent overview, see Uekama et al, in CRC Critical Reviews in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems. Vol. 3 (1), 1-40 (1987); Uekama, in Topics in Pharmaceutical Sciences 1987. eds. D. D. Breimer and P. Speiser, Elsevier Science Publishers B.V (Biomedical Division), 1987, 181-194; and Pagington, Chemistry in Britain. May 1987, pp. 455-458. Inclusion complexes of a-, p- or y-cyclodextrin or their mixtures with a variety of drugs have been described by numerous parties and various advantages have been attributed to the complexes.
