1. What is Mepidont and what is it used for
Mepivacaine, the active substance of the medicine, is a local anesthetic of amide structure. Its properties result from the inhibition of ion currents responsible for the formation and spread of stimuli in the neuronal cell membrane.
The anesthetic effect starts quickly.
The duration of the medicine's effect depends on the injection site, concentration, and presence or absence of adrenaline, a vasoconstrictor agent.
Mepivacaine is quickly metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys.
Mepivacaine binds to plasma proteins in an amount of 60% to 80% and the half-life in plasma is 115 minutes.
Indications:
All conservative and surgical procedures in dentistry.
MEPIDONT with adrenaline is indicated when prolonged local anesthesia or local anesthesia with vasoconstriction is desired.
2. Important information before using Mepidont
When not to use Mepidont:
- if the patient is allergic to mepivacaine hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). The use of a medicine containing a vasoconstrictor agent is not recommended in patients with severe heart and peripheral vascular diseases, hypertension, migraine, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, prostatic hypertrophy, glaucoma, and nephropathy.
Warnings and precautions
There have been reports of rare cases of death in patients who had not previously been diagnosed with hypersensitivity.
Mepidont with adrenaline contains sodium metabisulfite.
This substance may cause allergic reactions and severe asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.
The efficacy and safety of mepivacaine in dentistry depend on the proper selection of dose and administration of the medicine, as well as the observance of appropriate precautions.
Before starting to use Mepidont, the patient should discuss it with their doctor.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or thinks they may be pregnant, they should
consult their doctor before using this medicine.
Mepidont should not be used during pregnancy.
Driving and using machines
MEPIDONT has a minor effect on the ability to drive and use machines.
The doctor should decide whether the patient can drive or use machines after administration of the medicine.
MEPIDONT and other medicines
A medicine containing adrenaline should be used with caution in patients treated with MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (medicines used in psychiatry).
In each case, the lowest doses and concentrations necessary to achieve the desired effect should be used. The patient must be under close supervision, and administration of the medicine should be stopped immediately after the appearance of the first disturbing symptom (e.g., disorders of the senses).
A solution containing adrenaline may exhibit clinically significant interactions with MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (severe hypertension), with phenothiazine or butyrophenone derivatives (possible reversal of the adrenaline effect), and with other medicines.
The patient should tell their doctor about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.

3. How to use Mepidont
1 to 2 ml or more, depending on the procedure, infiltratively or as a peripheral nerve block.
The anesthetic solution should be injected in small doses at a rate of about 1 ml/min, after prior aspiration.
In a healthy adult, who has not received sedatives, the maximum dose, administered either as a single dose or in several consecutive injections over a period not exceeding 90 minutes, is 7 mg of mepivacaine hydrochloride per kilogram of body weight, up to a total dose not exceeding 550 mg of mepivacaine hydrochloride, and 0.2 mg of adrenaline.
Maximum dose: 1000 mg of mepivacaine per 24 hours.
In children, the administered doses should be reduced depending on body weight and age.
If the patient feels that the effect of Mepidont is too strong or too weak, they should
inform their doctor.
Using a higher dose of Mepidont than recommended
Overdose of the anesthetic should be avoided, and never administer two maximum doses in a row if the interval between them is less than 24 hours.
It is recommended to use lower concentrations and doses that will achieve the desired anesthetic effect.
The following toxic effects have been reported due to overdose:
- central nervous system stimulation with excitement, tremors, disorientation, dizziness, dilated pupils, accelerated metabolism, and elevated body temperature;
- after very large doses: trismus and convulsions.
Procedure
After the appearance of the first disturbing symptom, administration of the medicine should be stopped. The patient should be placed in a horizontal position and ensured to breathe freely; if not, oxygen should be administered, and in case of apnea, artificial respiration should be used.
Analeptics acting on the prolonged medulla should be avoided, so as not to worsen the patient's condition by increasing oxygen consumption.
Convulsions can be controlled by administering diazepam in doses of 10 to 20 mg intravenously.
Barbiturates are not recommended, as they may exacerbate depression of the prolonged medulla.
Improvement of the cardiovascular system can be achieved by intravenous administration of glucocorticoids. Additionally, diluted solutions of alpha and beta receptor stimulants with vasoconstrictor effects (e.g., mefentermine, metaraminol, etc.) or atropine sulfate can be used.
Always have a suitable set for immediate assistance and properly trained personnel available.
In several cases, after the use of local anesthetics, without individual hypersensitivity in the history, the occurrence of severe complications, even with a tragic course, has been reported.
Mepidont with adrenaline contains sodium metabisulfite; this compound may cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, especially those with asthma.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Side effects that may occur during the use of mepivacaine are similar to those observed during the use of other local anesthetics of amide structure.
These effects depend on the dose and may be caused by high concentrations of the medicine in the plasma, resulting from overdose, rapid absorption, or accidental injection into a vessel, or may be caused by hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or reduced tolerance in the patient.
The following side effects have been reported:
Nervous system disorders:
Central nervous system stimulation with excitement, tremors, disorientation, dizziness, dilated pupils, accelerated metabolism, and elevated body temperature. After very large doses: trismus and convulsions.
Vascular disorders:
Vasodilation, hypertension.
Cardiac disorders:
Heart rhythm disorders, bradycardia.
Immune system disorders:
Allergic reactions (in the most severe cases, anaphylactic shock).
Allergic reactions to mepivacaine are very rare (<1>Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders:
Accelerated breathing, bronchodilation.
Gastrointestinal disorders:
Nausea, vomiting.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders:
Skin changes, urticaria, edema, sweating.
The vasoconstrictor agent may cause the following reactions, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease: anxiety, sweating, respiratory disorders, heart rhythm disorders, hypertension (which may be a serious condition in patients with fixed hypertension and hyperthyroidism), severe headache, photophobia, costal pain, vomiting.
