Anesthetic Overview

An anesthetic (American English) or anaesthetic (British English; see spelling differences) is a drug used to induce anesthesia\u2009\u2060\u2014\u2009\u2060in other words, to result in a temporary loss of sensation or awareness.

Viractin cold sore gel

Why is Viractin so hard to find? Is it being discontinued and if so, why? I've used it for years in conjunction with Abreva for cold sores and I love it but it keeps getting harder to buy and I don't understand why when it's such a great product! ## Viractin contains the active ingredient Tetracaine, which is a local anesthetic used to numb the area, topically. I'm not finding any specific information, but it appears that the company that makes it might have discontinued it. It's made by Medibrands and they no longer list any information about it on their site and most online sites that listed it for sale say it is currently out of stock. I don't know which one might be available in your area, but many products use a similar ingredient called Benzocaine, so you m...

Butesin Picrate - compounding

Hello. I'm from Australia and had been sorry to learn that Butesin Picrate cream was removed from commercial sale. My daughter (a registered pharmacist with Pharmaceutical Compounding exp.) recently suffered burns while she was home cooking: I said my "often quoted regret" about the cream's discontinuation. We have - between us - located the original (1%) pharmaceutical compounding instructions for it and provided it's not large scale manufacture I can arrange to put you in touch with the compounding pharmacy - only in limited supply for individuals though (like many of us who grew up with this cream in our mothers' first aid boxes!). One ingredient (apparently) had cancer-causing discussions at scientific circles... and that's part of the PR disaster that pr...

The letter k looks similar to @ but with a k. ## I really want to know the answer to this question too! The other side of mine say '75' ## Did u find out what the pill was? ## Mine have a 'swirl k' on one side and a line on the other side. I found 6 in my daughter's room and have no idea what they are. ## Hi did you ever find out what these pills were? I found myself in a similar situation to you and am desperate to know what it is. Thanks. ## Did you find out what this was? I can't find anything on it and need to know asap. ## I think it’s MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy.

Ketamine usage variables

For other patients who have taken Ketamine, I wish to discuss what variables change response. Frequency of use? Dosage route? Time since meal? Time since sugar consumption? Time of day? How long before resuming prior activity?

what is the tribedoce dx injection used for

Besides the DX the box I have say “lidocaina” which I am assuming is Lidocaine, a pain relief drug. My wife wants to use this for hip pain from hip displacia but I just want to make sure that there will be no harmful side effect. Seeing that this also had a corticosteroid in it, Dexamethasone, I am inclined to NOT inject her with it because that is a class of drugs that can have serious side effects if used incorrectly or by the wrong person. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, so yes, there may be dangers, and it should only be administered with a doctors approval. The FDA warns that it may cause administration site reactions, redness, pain, headache, nausea, weight changes, mood changes, and skin reactions. How is she doing? Did you try it? Is she on...

CARB/CYCL/DICL/GABA/LIDO/PRIL Topical Cream

I'm curious as to what exactly this cream is used for and the side effects of use? ## This looks like a compounded cream, each word being an abbreviation for the full ingredient. I am assuming that each one corresponds to the following (though I can't guarantee that I am 100% accurate): CARB = Carbamazepine, anticonvulsant used in treating neuropathic pain CYCL = Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxer DICL = Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) GABA = Gabapentin, anticonvulsant used in treating neuropathic pain LIDO = Lidocaine, a local anesthetic PRIL= Prilocaine, a local anesthetic So it seems that this is a pain relieving cream, and a strong one at that. I would recommend checking each drug for its possible side effects. May I ask where you got it from? Was it com...
