Drug introduction

Introduction: Dimercaprol is an antidote primarily used to treat heavy metal poisoning, such as arsenic, mercury, or lead. It can form stable compounds with these metals and promote their elimination from the body. Butacaine is a local anesthetic commonly used to anesthetize the skin or mucosal surfaces. When used together, dimercaprol reduces neurological damage caused by metal poisoning, while butacaine reduces pain during treatment.

How to use: Dimercaprol is usually given as an injection, administered by a medical professional in a hospital or clinic. Butacaine is applied or sprayed as an ointment or spray on the area that needs anesthesia.

Precautions: When using these two drugs, you should strictly follow your doctor's advice and avoid self-use or overdose. If you have any discomfort or side effects during use, please inform your doctor immediately.

Dosage

Directions for use: Inject Dimercaprol Injection into muscle tissue, disposing of the needle and syringe in the correct manner immediately after each injection. This medication should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional and make sure the injection site is clean. Dimercaprol does not need to be taken with meals, but patients should avoid sulfur-containing foods.

Dosage Guidelines: For adults, the recommended starting dose is 5 ml three times daily. Doses may be adjusted based on the patient's condition and physician recommendations. Children's dosage should be based on their weight and age, with the usual starting dose being 2.5 ml three times daily. Physicians will adjust the dose according to the child's specific condition and regularly monitor the treatment effect.

However, acaine anesthetic is usually used for topical anesthesia, and patients should clean and disinfect the anesthesia site before use. When using Butacaine, follow the advice of your physician or health care provider to avoid overdose. For adults and children, it is recommended to use moderate amounts of Butacaine and follow the guidance of a medical professional.
