A member asked:

I was wondering what are the side effects of lidocaine with epinephrine as dental anaesthetic?

Usually none: If the Epinephrine is absorbed into the vascular system, it may cause heart palpations, increased blood pressure, and agitation. If Lidocaine is absorbed into the blood stream at low doses, it may cause ringing in the ears, metallic taste in the mouth, and other temporary side effects. High doses of Lidocaine absorbed into the blood stream can lead to heart and central nervous system problems.
