Abstract

Abstract A formulation is provided for the treatment of synovial inflammation, the formulation consisting of dysprosium-165 hydroxide macroaggregates or yttrium-90 hydroxide macroaggregates, wherein the formulation is substantially devoid of other co-precipitating agents in particular, ferric hydroxide. A method of treatment of synovial inflammation is also provided in which the method comprises adminstering an intra-articular injection of the above formulation. Preferably the above formulation is in the form of a isotonic apyrogenic injectable solution.
