Warnings and precautions

Consider before starting the administration of Lidocaína / Epinefrina Dermogen 20 mg/ml + 0.0125 mg/ml injectable solution EFG:

• If you have any liver disorder. If the disorder is severe, you should have special caution since toxic concentrations of lidocaína may be reached.
• If you have kidney disease, since the anesthetic or its derivatives may accumulate.

• If you are being treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or phenothiazines and if you are being treated with non-selective beta-blockers.
• If you have cardiovascular dysfunction since the depressor effects on the heart may be increased.
• If you are sensitive to drugs, especially to anesthetics or other chemically related components.
• It may contribute to the development of malignant hyperthermia in the case of supplementary anesthesia being required.
• Oxygen, equipment, and resuscitation medications should be readily available.
• Avoid injecting into an inflamed or infected area.

Consult if any of the circumstances mentioned above have occurred to the patient at any time.

Other medications and Lidocaína / Epinefrina Dermogen 20 mg/ml + 0.0125 mg/ml injectable solution EFG:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. Even those acquired without a prescription. Some medications may influence the action of others.

Do not administer with the following medications:

• Tricyclic antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO): may increase the vasopressor effect of epinephrine.
• Phenothiazine and butyrophenone: may reduce or reverse the vasopressor effect of epinephrine.
• Non-selective beta-blockers (e.g., propanolol).
• Central nervous system depressants: may lead to additive depressor effects.

• Disinfectant solutions containing heavy metal ions: lidocaína releases the ions of these solutions, which may cause severe local irritation and swelling.
• Non-selective beta-blockers: may slow down the metabolism of lidocaína due to reduced hepatic blood flow, leading to an increased risk of lidocaína toxicity.
• Cimetidine: may inhibit the hepatic metabolism of lidocaína, leading to an increased risk of lidocaína toxicity.
• Neuromuscular blockers: the anesthetic may prolong or potentiate the action of this type of medication.

The intramuscular injection of lidocaína may produce an increase in phosphokinase levels.

Use of Lidocaína / Epinefrina Dermogen 20 mg/ml + 0.0125 mg/ml injectable solution EFG with food:

After administration of Lidocaína / Epinefrina Dermogen 20 mg/ml + 0.0125 mg/ml injectable solution EFG, do not ingest food until sensitivity has been restored.

Pregnancy and lactation

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy:Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using a medication. You should exercise caution when prescribing to pregnant women.

No clinical data on lidocaína are available for pregnant women. Animal studies do not directly or indirectly indicate harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonic/fetal development, delivery, or postnatal development.

Lactation:Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using a medication. Lidocaína is excreted in small amounts in breast milk. Although the possible consequences for the infant are unknown, the potential for adverse effects appears to be low.

Driving and operating machinery

Although no effects on the ability to drive vehicles are anticipated, the dentist will decide when you are able to drive and operate machinery.

Administration method

By injection into the oral mucosa.

ONLY FOR USE IN DENTAL ANESTHESIA.

To avoid intravascular injection, a control aspiration should always be carried out in at least two planes (rotation of the needle in 180°), although a negative aspiration result does not rule out the possibility of an involuntary and unnoticed intravascular injection.

The injection speed should not exceed 0.5 ml in 15 seconds, i.e., 1 cartridge per minute.

Major systemic reactions, resulting from an accidental intravascular injection, can be avoided in most cases by a technical injection (after aspiration, slow injection of 0.1-0.2 ml and slow application of the rest), not before 20-30 seconds have elapsed).

Used cartridges should not be used in other patients. Residues should be disposed of.

Precautions for use.

Each time a local anesthetic is used, the following medications/therapies should be available:

• -Anticonvulsant medications (benzodiazepines or barbiturates), muscle relaxants, atropine, and vasopressors or epinephrine for severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions.

• -Resuscitation equipment (particularly an oxygen source) capable of artificial ventilation if necessary.

• -Careful and constant monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory vital signs (adequate ventilation) and the patient's level of consciousness after each local anesthetic injection. Restlessness, anxiety, tinnitus, dizziness, blurred vision, tremors, depression, or somnolence may be early warning signs of central nervous system toxicity.

Treatment in cases of overdose

General basic measures:

Hypertension:Elevation of the upper body, if necessary, nifedipine sublingual will be administered.

Convulsions:Protect the patient from simultaneous damage, if necessary, benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam i.v.) will be administered.

Hypotension:Horizontal position, if necessary, intravenous infusion of a complete electrolyte solution, vasopressor (e.g., etilefrine i.v.)

Bradycardia:Atropine i.v.

Anaphylactic shock:Get in touch with an emergency doctor, meanwhile,

Shock position, generous infusion of a complete electrolyte solution, if necessary, adrenaline i.v., cortisone i.v.

Cardiovascular arrest:Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation, get in touch with the emergency doctor.
