what is an antagonist of novocain (procaine)?

Question

How long does novocain (procaine) anesthetic take to wear off?

Answer 1

None: there is no reversal agent for this drug, it just has to "wear off" on its own

Answer 2

Phentolamine: may be used to reverse the effects of the local anesthetic in patients who have received local for dental treatment.

Answer 3

Novocaine: Procaine (novocaine) is an outdated medication. Many people still are under the impression that novocaine is being used. The reality is that most dentists use lidocaine. Procaine can cause allergic reactions. Allergic reactions to procaine are from its metabolite paba. This is the reason why Lidocaine is used now, because it is safer. There are other options as well, like carbocaine&bupivicaine.

Answer 4

Local Anesthetic: Some people called it novocain, (procaine) can be use topical or as an injection to cause numbness of the area to be treated.

Answer 5

Time: Local anesthetics will wear off.....Depending on individual...Adrenaline prolngs the duration and reduces bleeding so it is used by dentists.

Answer 6

Rarely Used: Oraverse (phentolamine mesylate) injection is the local anesthetic (la) reversal agent that accelerates the return to normal sensation & function following restorative & periodontal maintenance procedures. Oraverse is indicated for the reversal of soft-tissue anesthesia when a vasoconstrictor was part of the la. It dilates the local blood vessels to allow the la to leave the injection site faster.

Answer 7

Structure: The molecules are similar and do the same thing but their chemical structure is different.

Answer 8

Generic vs Branded: They are the same. Procaine is a local anesthetic which was used widely in dentistry under the brand name novacaine. It is not used today in dentistry due to a much higher allergic reaction rate to procaine over Lidocaine (xylocaine).

Answer 9

Unlikely!: Novocaine, which is a type of local anesthesia injected to numb an area, wears off relatively quickly within an hour or two. It is absorbed into the body and metabolized. Once the numbing effect is gone, there are no other side effects.

Answer 10

Sometime...: Novocain (procaine) side effects are rare. Some are temporary tingling, numbness and pain around the injection site. Most of these usually go away with time. More severe side effects-- anaphalactic shock, irregular heart rate with pain, anxiety (fainting), nausea, need to be reported to your dentist or emergency room. There are other anesthetics other than novacain that have more side effects.

Answer 11

Yes: Of course, the topical is there to help the little pinch as the needle enters the tissue. If you dont like it let your dentist know.

Answer 12

Of course: Of course, you can ask the dentist anything. The numbing gel you are talking about is usually 20% lidocaine. It numbs the surface before the needle is inserted.
