Anti-inflammatory agents are often injected directly into rheumatoid joints in order to minimise side-effects and to localise drugs within the joints, or more specifically within those cells involved in the catabolic lesions. It has been shown that intra-articular corticosteroid is clinically useful for local palliative therapy (Hollander 1972). In rheumatoid arthritis it may suppress activity in the most severely involved joints until the therapeutic effects of other drug regimes have been established. Further studies showed that relatively high doses of steroid were required to produce transient amelioration of the symptoms, and there was evidence of drug leaching from the joint space within 24 hours (Goetzl et al. 1974). Depot therapy can be achieved using a microcrystalline drug suspension, although lysosomotropic agents should provide an even more efficient drug delivery system.
