Introduction
Generally, oral anesthetics include medications such as fentanyl oral solution, lidocaine hydrochloride oral gel, codeine phosphate tablets, morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets, and oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets. In summary, patients are advised to use these medications under the guidance of a physician. If any discomfort occurs, patients should seek medical attention promptly to avoid adverse outcomes.
Oral anesthetics typically include medications such as fentanyl oral solution, lidocaine hydrochloride gel, codeine phosphate tablets, morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets, and oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets. Specific details are as follows:
1. Fentanyl Oral Solution
Fentanyl oral solution is an opioid analgesic that primarily stimulates opioid μ-receptors and exerts a significant pain-relieving effect.
2. Lidocaine Hydrochloride Gel
Lidocaine hydrochloride gel is a medium-acting amide-type local anesthetic. It is used for topical anesthesia, including mucosal anesthesia during thoracoscopic or abdominal procedures.
3. Codeine Phosphate Tablets
Codeine phosphate tablets are classified as narcotic drugs and have analgesic, sedative, and antitussive effects. Note that long-term use of codeine phosphate tablets may lead to addiction and dependence. Common side effects after taking the tablets include hallucinations, difficulty breathing, and abnormally fast or slow heart rate.
4. Morphine Sulfate Sustained-Release Tablets
Morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets are potent opioid receptor agonists and belong to the morphine class of preparations. They provide analgesia and are categorized as narcotic analgesics under special national control. Note that morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets are contraindicated in infants, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women.
5. Oxycodone Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Tablets
Oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets are narcotic medications primarily used to relieve moderate to severe chronic pain. Note that this medication is contraindicated in patients with conditions such as head injury, paralytic ileus, or acute or severe bronchial asthma.
In summary, patients should use these medications only under the guidance of a physician. If any discomfort occurs, patients should seek immediate medical attention at a hospital to avoid adverse outcomes.
