Method of administration
Oral route.
The solution should be applied to a mucous membrane that has been previously dried.
Place the tip of the cannula 2 to 4 cm from the area to be anesthetized. This operation can be repeated in three different areas of the mouth during the same session.
Special warnings and precautions for use
- Although insignificant systemic passage of lidocaine is expected, the medicine should be used with caution when applied to an inflamed or infected area, due to the risk of rapid systemic absorption of lidocaine.
- Aspiration and isolation of saliva with a cotton roll at the treated site with local anesthesia are required.
- There is a risk of trauma by biting (lips, cheeks, tongue), but with the medicine, it is expected to be very low, due to the limited area of administration. When associated with injectable local anesthetics, the patient should be instructed to avoid chewing gum or eating until sensitivity is regained.
- The oropharyngeal use of local anesthetics should be avoided, as it may interfere with the ability to swallow, especially in children, and therefore cause choking. Accidental direction of the anesthetic towards the uvula (soft palate) or pharynx may trigger a transient paralysis of these areas and temporary discomfort for the patient. It disappears quickly. To avoid choking problems and others, the product should not be sprayed on the back of the throat.
- This medicine contains 606 mg of alcohol (ethanol at 96%) in a maximum daily dose of 1.3 g of product, which is equivalent to 45.45% (w/w).
It may cause a slight burning sensation on open wounds.
Overdose
Under normal conditions of use and administration, it is unlikely that an overdose will occur with a product for local use only.
However, caution should be taken when using the product in combination with injectable local anesthetics, as the risk of CNS toxicity and cardiovascular toxicity may occur with high plasma levels of lidocaine due to excessive dose or rapid absorption. To date, no cases of overdose with the product have been reported.
Symptomatology:
The following reactions may occur with high plasma levels of lidocaine due to excessive dose or rapid absorption, particularly when associated with the use of injectable local anesthetics:
Central Nervous System (CNS):
High plasma concentration may cause CNS stimulation (including convulsions) followed by CNS depression (including respiratory arrest) and may be characterized by the following signs and symptoms of increasing severity: circumoral paresthesia, dizziness, nervousness, anxiety, apprehension, euphoria, confusion, dizziness, somnolence, hyperacusis, tinnitus, blurred vision, vomiting, nausea, sensation of heat or cold, numbness, spasms, tremors, convulsions, unconsciousness, depression, and respiratory arrest. The excitatory manifestations (e.g., spasms, tremors, and convulsions) may be very brief or not occur at all, in which case the first manifestation of toxicity may be somnolence that merges into unconsciousness and respiratory arrest.
Cardiovascular system:
The cardiovascular manifestations are generally depressive and are characterized by bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmia, and cardiovascular collapse, which may lead to cardiac arrest. Hypertension, tachycardia, and angina may be caused by concomitant use with an injectable local anesthetic containing adrenaline.
Treatment of overdose:
The availability of resuscitation equipment should be ensured before starting dental anesthesia with local anesthesia.
If signs of acute toxicity are suspected, the medicine should be rinsed immediately.
Oxygen should be administered quickly, if necessary, assisted ventilation should be used. Change the patient's position to a supine position if necessary.
In case of cardiac arrest, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed.
