Abstract:

A chemical solution for deactivating the effects of local anesthetic is disclosed. Local anesthetic is important in many medical procedures, such as dentistry, surgical procedures, and veterinary medicine. In many cases, after the procedure has been completed, the need for blocking the nerve conductance is no longer needed or wanted, and the effects of local anesthesia can last for several hours post procedure. This invention works by two mechanisms, manipulating the pH and calcium concentration of the local cellular environment. The invention can be delivered via an oral transmucosal delivery device or via an injectable. It provides a safe and biologically acceptable means to quickly eliminate the effects of local anesthetic. The use of this invention will allow patients to quickly gain back their normal nerve function.
