Yes, it might cause convulsive seizures especially if taken with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (ex. selegiline). Convulsion occurs due to the accumulation of its metabolite (norpethidine) in the plasma.

Why pethidine causes tacycardia?

Pethidine, also known as meperidine, can cause tachycardia primarily due to its anticholinergic effects, which inhibit the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This inhibition can lead to increased heart rate as the parasympathetic nervous system's control over heart rate is diminished. Additionally, pethidine can cause the release of histamine, which may also contribute to cardiovascular effects, including increased heart rate.

Does an epidural contain pethidine codeine or amoxycillin?

No... If it had pethidine or codiene I would be dead because I'm severely allergic to both. And amoxycillin is an antibiotic - they inject that seperately.
