Tetracaine, also known as amethocaine, is an ester local anesthetic used to numb the eyes, nose, or throat. [2] It may also be applied to the skin before starting intravenous therapy to decrease pain from the procedure. [3] Typically it is applied as a liquid to the area. [2]
Inferior alveolar nerve block (abbreviated to IANB, and also termed inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia or inferior dental block) is a nerve block technique which induces anesthesia (numbness) in the areas of the mouth and face innervated by one of the inferior alveolar nerves which are paired on the left and right side.
A single 15 mg dose of mirtazapine to healthy volunteers has been found to result in over 80% occupancy of the H 1 receptor and to induce intense sleepiness. [92] After a short period of chronic treatment, however, the H 1 receptor tends to sensitize and the antihistamine effects become more tolerable. Many patients may also dose at night to ...
Other considerations include procedural considerations, the presence of inflammation, techniques used to administer the anesthetic medication, and adverse effects. [1] In root canal treatment, for example, more Lidocaine is required than for a simple filling. [2]
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is an iatrogenic disorder that results in involuntary repetitive body movements, which may include grimacing, sticking out the tongue or smacking the lips, [1] which occurs following treatment with medication.

Hypoesthesia or numbness is a common side effect of various medical conditions that manifests as a reduced sense of touch or sensation, or a partial loss of sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In everyday speech this is generally referred to as numbness.
The rate of systemic absorption of bupivacaine and other local anesthetics is dependent upon the dose and concentration of drug administered, the route of administration, the vascularity of the administration site, and the presence or absence of epinephrine in the preparation. [29] Onset of action (route and dose-dependent): 1–17 min
Note: "Notable" is to mean side-effects that are particularly unique to the antipsychotic drug in question. For example, clozapine is notorious for its ability to cause agranulocytosis. If data on the propensity of a particular drug to cause a particular AE is unavailable an estimation is substituted based on the pharmacologic profile of the drug.
