What is the treatment for benzocaine toxicity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methylene blue: The most dangerous potential effect of Benzocaine overdose is methemoglobinemia, a condition in which not enough oxygen is available to the body. There may be pale or blue-gray skin and nail beds, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness. Emergency treatment is the IV administration of a medication called methylene blue, and discontinuation of Benzocaine use.
