  • Local Anesthetics
    Local Anesthetics Introduction and History Cocaine is a naturally occurring compound indigenous to the Andes Mountains, West Indies, and Java. It was the first anesthetic to be discovered and is the only naturally occurring local anesthetic; all others are synthetically derived. Cocaine was introduced into Europe in the 1800s following its isolation from coca beans. Sigmund Freud, the noted Austrian psychoanalyst, used cocaine on his patients and became addicted through self-experimentation. In the latter half of the 1800s, interest in the drug became widespread, and many of cocaine's pharmacologic actions and adverse effects were elucidated during this time. In the 1880s, Koller introduced cocaine to the field of ophthalmology, and Hall introduced it to dentistry Overwiev Local anesthetics (LAs) are drugs that block the sensation of pain in the region where they are administered. LAs act by reversibly blocking the sodium channels of nerve fibers, thereby inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses. Nerve fibers which carry pain sensation have the smallest diameter and are the first to be blocked by LAs. Loss of motor function and sensation of touch and pressure follow, depending on the duration of action and dose of the LA used. LAs can be infiltrated into skin/subcutaneous tissues to achieve local anesthesia or into the epidural/subarachnoid space to achieve regional anesthesia (e.g., spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, etc.). Some LAs (lidocaine, prilocaine, tetracaine) are effective on topical application and are used before minor invasive procedures (venipuncture, bladder catheterization, endoscopy/laryngoscopy). LAs are divided into two groups based on their chemical structure. The amide group (lidocaine, prilocaine, mepivacaine, etc.) is safer and, hence, more commonly used in clinical practice.

  • Lidocaine: a Local Anesthetic, Its Adverse Effects and Management
    medicina Review Lidocaine: A Local Anesthetic, Its Adverse Effects and Management Entaz Bahar and Hyonok Yoon * Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52828, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-55-772-2422 Abstract: The most widely used medications in dentistry are local anesthetics (LA), especially lidocaine, and the number of recorded adverse allergic responses, particularly of hazardous responses, is quite low. However, allergic reactions can range from moderate to life-threatening, requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. This article serves as a review to provide information on LA, their adverse reactions, causes, and management. Keywords: local anesthetics; lidocaine; adverse allergic responses 1. Introduction A local anesthetic (LA) is a medicine that is used to numb a small part of the body temporarily before performing a minor surgery like skin biopsy. Before a dental operation, such as tooth extraction, LA may be given to the patient. LA do not cause humans to fall asleep, unlike general anesthesia. They are usually distinguished by their chemical structure, specifically the linkage between the compound’s common components, such as Citation: Bahar, E.; Yoon, H. amide and esters [1]. The vast majority of the regularly used dental LA are amides, for Lidocaine: A Local Anesthetic, Its example, lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine, etidocaine, prilocaine, and articaine [2]. The Adverse Effects and Management. maximum recommended dose of LA may vary based on the nation, gender, age, weight, Medicina 2021, 57, 782. https:// and medical condition of the patient.

Just because a drug is listed does not mean that you will automatically get tinnitus, or exacerbate exisiting tinnitus, if you take it. A few will, but many will not. Whether or not you eperience tinnitus after taking one of the listed drugs or herbals, or after being exposed to one of the listed chemicals, depends on many factors ‐ such as your own body chemistry, your sensitivity to drugs, the dose you take, or the length of time you take the drug. It is important to note that there may be drugs NOT listed here that could still cause tinnitus.
