Scandonest 3% Plain Safety Information

Reactions to Scandonest® are characteristic of those associated with other amide-type local anaesthetics.

A major cause of adverse reactions to this group of drugs is excessive plasma levels, which may be due to overdosage, inadvertent intravascular injection or slow metabolic degradation.

Scandonest® is contra-indicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to it or to any local anaesthetic agent of the amide type or to other components of mepivacaine solutions.

Local anaesthetics should be employed only by clinicians who are well versed in diagnosis and management of dose-related toxicity and other acute emergencies which might arise from the block to be employed, and then only after insuring the immediate availability of oxygen, other resuscitative drugs, cardiopulmonary resuscitative equipment, and the personnel resources needed for proper management of toxic reactions and related emergencies.
