Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine in novacaine

epipen

1047019 tn?1256719961 We DO NOT have SYNTHETIC Epinephrine in our bodies. Any drug that is synthetic has been made this way by man in a lab & it is recognized as poison/unnatural to our bodies...hence this is why it causes reactions in some. The last time I was given it I thought I would die.
Avatar f tn it just might be from the epinephrine in it. He could be sensitive to it. I am and they say that it is a normal reaction but I still don't like it. Tell them you want your son to have carbocaine or anything else without the epi. If you decide to go to another dentist tell them what happened to him and say you don't want him to have it.
Avatar f tn And that is important for heart health. Be sure you get a novacaine without epinephrine. This is REALLY important. I have an irregular heartbeat, after having the epinephrine and have heard the same thing from many others going into Afib from it, or having their Afib made worse. I remind the dentist each and every time. It's not paranoia when there really is a problem!
Avatar n tn m wondering with my heart problem how dangerous is it to get a dose of epinephrine and how will that affect my heart? I had an epinephrine dose in the early nineties due to a breathing problem, but that was before I was diagnosed with the mvp and atrial misfire.
9445847 tn?1408059755 No.problem. you might need a note from your ob saying you can have novacaine without epinephrine and xrays with proper chest protection. But there shouldn't be any other issues. :-) good luck the dentist *****.
Avatar f tn So I'm about to schedule an appointment because I have 2 cavities that need fixed bad!! What would be the best pain med that's safe for my baby? My mom in law said ask for the gas but my husband said just get the shots! Idk what I'm doing? Anyone been through this? What did you get and were there any complications with pregnancy or baby?
290867 tn?1333569278 they don't like to give you pain meds that late in pregnancy, because of the possibility of dependence from the baby. I had a cap put on, (he won't do a root canal because of the xtra xrays and possibility of infection) and i'm almost 20weeks. But my dentist gave me Tylenol3 which is safe to use during second trimester. I think if your doctor says its safe its' safe.
Avatar n tn actually a severe rise in blood pressure can take a considerable time to correct itself and that in combination with being reclined (this is not a sleeping position your body is accustomed to) can cause you to become dizzy.
1301089 tn?1290666571 However Im not allergic to latex. But I cant get the novacaine that has the epinephrine in it! It makes my heart race so fast it feels like its going to explode! they have to use the other kind instead which doesnt work as good of course. I once had to have an infected dry socket debrided/scraped out with NO NUMBING because it wouldnt work! The dude took a metal hook in the infected socket where I had just had a tooth pulled from a few days prior and raked it in the pit to make a new clot form.
Avatar n tn Well, I don't know, they've always called it novocaine in front of me. In fact, I've had discussions with them about the "novocaine" and the effects of the epinephrine in it. I looked it up and according to google results "novocaine" is still regularly used. That included my "surgeries" in which I was fully awake, and just numbed.
427258 tn?1266445242 When I was at the dentist a few months ago he told me that my wisdom teeth were impacted and would need to be removed. I called an oral surgeon and the earliest I could get in was August, but now I'm pregnant and wouldn't you know it one of my wisdom teeth has come through (at least part of it anyway). It's the top-back-left and the 'back' part of the tooth came through no problem, but the 'fron't part is killing me.
Avatar m tn After the second visit, at about the time the novacaine numbness wore off 5 hours or so later, he got a tremor in his left arm and hand, then later his right leg was affected as well. This continued for 3 days before ending. Can you please tell me what type of doctor to follow up with to find out what is going on and prevent a possible worse reaction if he should get novacaine again.
Avatar m tn can someone please tell me what im in for ,im going to have a core liver biopsy monday,,im freaked out how interusive is this ,how much does this hurt ????? thanks all!!
Avatar f tn I had a very deep cavity filled on my upper right last tooth (#2) last week and after was having serious jaw/overall mouth pain/headache. It slowly got a little better each day. Then I went back on Tuesday to have my crown replaced on my lower right tooth 2nd to last (same side). I told the dentist about my pain and he said I might need a root canal so he prescribed me some pain meds and antibiotics if the pain continues.
Avatar f tn ok anyways that was oct 5 but on oct 1 i had had a tooth filled and novacaine was used and today im supposed to get another tooth filled, anyways im wondering if there is or could be a connection between the dental appointment and that er visit like maybe the novacaine was still in my system and caused the hhr of 240.Im near panic and i dont think im going to get the tooth filled untill i get more information because for SURE i dont want another trip to the er in a few days.
Avatar f tn Not completely but like a shot of novacaine. I have had a cold recently but I have never has this happen! What could this be from?
Avatar f tn First, I never had any problems receiving novacaine at the Dentist until this past summer. I have had MS - like symptoms for 3 years now. I just recently had some cavities filled, and twice had a strange "reaction" when the novacaine was administered. This is on the same side of my body that my MS symptoms occur. Both times I had to get a double dose to get numbed up. The first time, it went straight up the side of my face, numb all across my nose and up to my eyeball.
Avatar n tn Last Wednesday I had a cavity filled in an upper left molar with novacaine. Two days later I developed a bruise on my left cheek, along with continued swelling and discomfort on the left side. The composite site was fine and I am able to chew. The pain is mostly in my cheek and jawline. It slightly improved on Saturday, but on Sunday and today the pain continues and had actually worsened. This morning I woke up feeling nausated and with a severe headache.
Avatar f tn Epinephrine is relatively contraindicated in hyperthyroidism as the vascular effects of epinephrine can worsen this condition. A hyperthyroid patient may be more sensitive to the catecholamines and thyrotoxic or cardiotoxic symptoms can occur. Epinephrine is also relatively contraindicated in hypertension due to the risk of worsening this condition. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause hypertension.
Avatar n tn Animal studies have revealed evidence of teratogenicity when epinephrine was given in doses approximately 25 times the usual recommended human dose (on a per kg basis). There are no reports of teratogenicity in humans. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Epinephrine is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Avatar f tn Do these drops have enough in it to maybe cause for me to have the same reaction? So far I always got eye drops without epinephrine/or something equal to epinephrine, but this last eye doctor did not want to use any drops at all. He examined my eyes without dialating them.
Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
Avatar n tn The skin on my right thigh feels like it was shot with novacaine. Through my own research, I thought it was a compressed cutaneous nerve. Using an inversion table, I felt it was improving, but now it has started itching and burning, at times so badly that I can hardly stand it. Could this be because the nerve is no longer pinched and is getting the sensations back? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/202763'>Numb,itch, and burning sensation on thigh</a>.
