I have MS. I would prefer not to use Septocaine?!


Question:

I have MS. I would prefer not to use Septocaine?

I am the one with the previous Septocaine question. I am multichemical sensitive including but not limited to MSG, Aspartame, Sulfites, Sulfer Dioxide, Splenda makes my tongue and gums numb In my research Septocaine is both an Amide and Ester. I do not want an ester, nor do I want Articaine after reading about complaints on parasthesia . It is the newest local anesthetic, sure the dentists love it, but you docs our there, if you read further on Septo, it IS the hardest to excrete. That may be ok for a healthy person, but for MS patients, I noted in my reading that Xylocaine, or Mepivacaine. may be better, though dentists hate not using Epi - I can not tolerate the metabisulfite buildup any longer. In addition, with Septo I inevitably need a second administration before the procedure is done anyway. Also, blocks don't work with me. What is the safest local "caine" for me to use without sulfiltes?? .. and yes that would mean no epi, but I am more concerned about me, not the dentists ease


Answers:

Ask your dentist to give you Polarcaine 4%, It contains no epineferin.
