  • Oxytocic drugs of the ergotamine type (uterine stimulants)
  • Phenothiazines and butyrophenones (medicines for treating psychotic disorders)
  • Halothane (general anesthesia by inhalation)
  • Non-cardioselective beta-blockers, such as propranolol (heart medicines)
  • Medicines structurally similar to local anesthetics, such as those used for cardiac rhythm disorders (antiarrhythmics of class Ib)

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine

Inibsacain contains sodium metabisulfite (E-223) and sodium:

This medicine may cause severe allergic reactions and bronchospasm (sudden feeling of suffocation) because it contains sodium metabisulfite

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per 1.8 ml cartridge; i.e., it is essentially "sodium-free"

3. How to use Inibsacain

Inibsacain should only be administered under the supervision of a doctor with experience in the use of this type of treatment

Inibsacain is administered by injection for dental use

The dose, rate of administration, and duration of treatment will vary depending on the anesthetic procedure, the area to be anesthetized, and the patient's weight, clinical situation, and response

If you use more Inibsacain than you should

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested

As with other local anesthetics, due to excessive dosing, rapid absorption, or accidental injection into blood vessels, symptoms of intoxication may occur, which can manifest:

  • On the central nervous system:

Characterized by anesthesia of the tongue, loss of consciousness, fainting, blurred vision, headache, tremors followed by drowsiness, convulsions, and unconsciousness

  • On the circulatory system:

Decreased heart contraction, low blood pressure (hypotension)

At high doses, vasodilation, collapse, conduction disturbances, decreased heart rate, atrioventricular block, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest

If toxic effects occur, the first measure is to stop the administration of the local anesthetic. The subsequent treatment consists of stopping the convulsions and ensuring adequate breathing with oxygen, if necessary by assisted breathing. If convulsions occur, they can be treated with 5-10 mg of diazepam. If hypotension exists, a vasopressor should be administered intravenously, for example, 5-10 mg of ephedrine. If cardiac arrest occurs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be applied immediately, and 0.1-0.2 mg of adrenaline should be administered intravenously or intracardially as soon as possible. If cardiac arrest occurs, prolonged resuscitation efforts should be applied

-------------------------

This information is intended only for healthcare professionals

Before administering a local anesthetic, you should have a complete resuscitation equipment, including an oxygenation and ventilation system, and the necessary medications for the treatment of possible toxic reactions

Injections should always be administered slowly and with prior aspiration to avoid accidental intravascular injection, which could cause toxic effects

Taking this into account, as well as the anesthetic technique and the situation of the patients to be treated, the administration of the medicine should be carried out according to the guidelines described and the recommendations included in the different sections of the Technical Data Sheet ("Posology and method of administration"; "Special warnings and precautions for use"), so it is necessary to refer to the text of the same to ensure the correct use of the product

The solutions should be used immediately after opening. Any remaining portion of the solution used should be discarded

Due to the instability of adrenaline, products containing it should not be re-sterilized

The solution is colorless, transparent, and free of particles, so it should not be used if it appears pink or darker than pale yellow or if it contains a precipitate or any foreign particles inside

Appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid prolonged contact between anesthetic solutions containing adrenaline (low pH) and metal surfaces (e.g., needles and metal parts of syringes), as metal ions, mainly copper ions, can dissolve, causing local irritation (swelling, edema) at the injection site and accelerated degradation of adrenaline

Incompatibilities

The solubility of bupivacaine is limited to pH > 6.5. This should be taken into account in case alkaline solutions need to be added, e.g., carbonates, as precipitation may occur

Mixing with alkaline solutions results in rapid degradation of adrenaline
