Do they make 150 microgram Fentanyl patches?
No - the top dosage is 100mcg. To get higher doses, you need to mix lower/higher patch doses to get the effect you need.
Does vitiligo affect hair?
I have vertiligo and it can effect your hair, in my experience my hair goes completely white in patches it is a very similar to the white patches you may get on your skin.
Does lidocaine contain cocaine?
No, they are two different substances. Lidocaine was given the -caine ending only due to the anesthetic effect it shares with cocaine. However, sometimes cocaine is adulterated with lidocaine to increase the perceived potency of the product (due to lidocaine's numbing effects).
Can you take cannabis with Fentanyl patches?
You can, but you won't notice any effect other than maybe feeling a bit more relaxed. Fentanyl is the strongest opiate (100x stronger than morphine), and cannabis isn't even close to affecting anyone who's using patches on a regular basis.
How does the effect of lidocaine differ from the effect of TTX?
They both decrease action potential duration, but TTX is the only one that decreases the maximum rate of depolarization.
Will you get immediate relief from a 100 mg Fentanyl patch?
20 minutes to take effect
How does Fioricet with Codeine interact with Fentanyl patches?
Duragesic (Fentanyl Transdermal) patches are used for Primary Chronic Pain; they last for up to 3 days depending on the patient and tolerance level. For example, I'm one of a small percentage of the population that only gets 48 hours from my patches, and that's due to my high tolerance level - I've been using them for 9 years. Percocet (Oxycodone and Tylenol) is used for Breakthrough Pain - Breakthrough Pain is that pain which the patient feels after activity causes pain being controlled by the patches to exceed the pain controlling capability of the Fentanyl. Percocet, being an Acute pain drug, is used to compensate for the temporary increase in pain. The combination of Fentanyl patches and Percocet is very common - I myself have used the combination in varying strengths and doses for a very long time. While I'm currently using the strongest doses available, at times I've had to increase my dosages and augment them with other opiates such as Demerol and MS Contin.
Could Lidocaine cause adverse reaction?
Lidocaine is used for more than numbing. Because of lidocaine's direct effect on heart muscle cells it is used to help control the rhythm of the heart. So lidocaine can absolutely cause an adverse reaction. That is why close monitoring of patients who are being given lidocaine to treat an irregular heart rhythm is necessary. For general local numbing procedures lidocaine is practically harmless. If it was risky, believe me, there'd be a heart monitor in every dentist's office. can lidocaine cause chemical inblance? in 1998, my son had some dental work he had a seizure in the Dentist chair after that he start hearing and seeing things could this be from the Lidocaine? Adverse reaction can occur following use of Parcaine. This is an anesthetic used as drops to numb the eye prior to certain exams. It may be prevented by manually closing tear ducts to prevent drops from reaching general circulation. {As you would do to prevent Timoptic drops from having a systemic beta blocker effect.) One such reaction can be bradycardia (30-40 bpm) for prolonged time ( hours). No BP or EKG documented. You can have adverse reactions with practically anything you put in your body, either by mouth, injections, or any other routes. I had 2 adverse reactions to lidocaine. The first, a doctor administered lidocaine and I had a severe reaction. I fainted and then started vomiting and was very disoriented for hours afterwards. It took me 3 days before I could return to work and 2 weeks before I felt completely better. 3 months later, 2 doctors who didn't believe that any would have an adverse reaction to lidocaine, administered lidocaine and marcaine during surgery. My B/P dropped very low and I ended up with a brain injury from lack of oxygen. There are many anecdotal stories about adverse reactions to lidocaine.
Is Lidocaine the same as Fen Fen?
Not even close--in fact, one usage of Lidocaine is to combat heart arrhythmia, which is a potential side-effect of Phen-Fen (Phentermine-Fenfluramine). Lidocaine is primarily an anesthetic, used in sunburn treatments. The use as an anti-arrhythmia treatment is much less common. Phen-Fen is (a pair of drugs used in concert as) an appetite suppressant. It was found to potentially cause damage to heart valves, however, and its use was discontinued in the U.S. in 1995.
What is the effect of lidocaine on eliciting an action potential?
Ether prevents the action potential, by opening potassium ion pores, which allows the escape of potassium from the neurons, which results in hyper-polarization of the neuron, thus preventing the action potential from occurring.
How does the lidocaine patch work?
When it is applied to the skin, lidocaine is released into the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, reducing pain at the site of the dysfunctional nerves damaged by the prior herpes zoster infection
Is there anything you can buy over the counter that will mimic cocaine in a urine test?
Certain anesthetics are very similar to cocaine in the molecular sense, however these substances (benzocaine, lidocaine, etc.) are not psycoactive (e.g. do not effect the brain). Whether or not they would produce a false positive on a drug screen, I do not know. edit: Amoxicillin and certain anti-biotics also could cause this.
