Hi, Where I can find this suppository in US? ## From what I could gather, this combination of drugs (particularly Policresulen) does not appear to be available here in the US. I could be wrong, but I haven't found any supporting information regarding Policresulen's availability. Cinchocaine however, is sold in the US under the brand name "Nupercainal". And the manufacturer is said to be Novartis (a US-based company). If you do happen to come across a legitimate prescription-based source for Policresulen, I would suggest going to a compounding pharmacy who can then combine the two medications for ease of use. I hope this advice helps! Does anyone else have more information on Policresulen's availability?

I am doing a molecular portfolio on Lidocaine for Chemistry, and am trying to determine the polarity and solubility of the drug. Thanks! ## I'm not sure if this can be of help to your chemistry project, but from what I've read, Lidocaine is practically insoluble in water; but very soluble in ethanol (alcohol). Perhaps the following reference can be of assistance if you're in need of exact numerical measurements: lxsrv7.oru.edu/~alang/onsc/solubility/allsolvents.php?solute=lidocaine You can learn more about this drug on the page for Lidocaine Details I hope this info helps in any way!

need a doctor in the greater hamilton, nj area for triggerpoint therapy ## Hi Michelle, According to Wikipedia's article on trigger point, "Among MDs, many specialists are well versed in trigger point diagnosis and therapy. These include physiatrists (physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation), family medicine, and orthopedics. Osteopathic as well as chiropractic schools, however, include trigger points in their training. Other health professionals, such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and structural integrators are also aware of these ideas and many of them make use of trigger points in their clinical work as well." So based on that information, I think it just comes down to which type of doctor or pract...

Rash on inside of lips; itching, burning, hurting lips ## Hi Belle, Lido is not known to be marketed in the USA, although I did find out that Lido may be available in Thailand as a brand name for Lidocaine. The abbreviation makes sense so I have no reason to think otherwise on this. Regarding the side effects you mentioned, they are most likely related to those on Lidocaine's side effect list, posted below: -burning or discomfort in the place you applied the patch -redness or swelling of the skin under the patch Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately: -hives -skin rash -itching -difficulty breathing or swallowing -swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or l...

For those of you suffering with Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder, Emory University is doing the BEST study in my opinion. They are implanting electrodes into "Area 25" of the brain which when placed in the correct spot, provides immediate relief from some or all of the symptoms of Major Depression. Anyway, their study has shown far better prognosis long-term than Ketamine which is only meant for short term, emergent use (per the NIH study objective). I mention Ketamine because these is a lot of buzz about it lately as a treatment which it is not, nor will it ever receive FDA approval for long term treatment. At Emory they implant the electrode during surgery which you are awake for. When they tap into the spot that gives you immediate positive response, the electrod...

I tak a UA weekly this week i failed my drug test for amphetimines and had gon and got dental work done a few days before can it be the Lidocaine? ## Hi Lindsay, It looks like another person here in the forums had the same question as you: Discuss/Can-Lidocaine-Cause-A-Positive-Drug-Test-For-Amphetamines-237606.htm From what I could gather, there haven't been any definitive claims or notations regarding Lidocaine testing positive for Amphetamines; just a few people asking about it in instances like this. One site I typically go to when checking for false positives is linked below; however they don't seem to have information on Lidocaine (just procaine): askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html I hope this helps in some way!

I have been getting lidocaine shots in my back every month for 4 yrs and lidocaine infusion. every 3 months would that show as cocaine on a drug stick test ## Hi J, Other than a few forum posts from different individuals, I haven't located any concrete details confirming the possibility of a false positive for Cocaine from Lidocaine. However, I do have reason to believe that it's still a strong possibility due to the faulty standard drug tests they use today. A lot of these standardized drug tests have a fairly high false-positive response, where it seems as though anything is likely to show up, no matter what you took. To my knowledge false positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Have you asked your doctor yet about getting re-tested?

Urine screen in ER shows benzodiazepine 45 minutes after 5mg IV Midazolam given in ambulance. Can it get in urine that fast? ## In many cases, giving them by IV kind of speeds up the process, so they can be detected much faster than they would if they were taken orally. Learn more Midazolam details here. Your body and how fast it processes medications can also play a role. Why did they give it in the ambulance?
