Uses for tetracaine and oxymetazoline

Tetracaine and oxymetazoline combination nasal spray is used to numb the affected tooth (Teeth 4-13 and A-J) before a dental procedure in adults and children weighing 40 kilograms (kg) or more.

Tetracaine and oxymetazoline is to be given by or under the direct supervision of your dentist or other health care professional.

Before using tetracaine and oxymetazoline

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For tetracaine and oxymetazoline, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to tetracaine and oxymetazoline or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of tetracaine and oxymetazoline combination nasal spray in children younger than 3 years of age and in children weighing less than 40 kg. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

Geriatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of tetracaine and oxymetazoline combination nasal spray in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have increased blood pressure and kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution in patients receiving tetracaine and oxymetazoline.

Breastfeeding

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Proper use of tetracaine and oxymetazoline

A dentist will give you or your child tetracaine and oxymetazoline in a dental clinic. Tetracaine and oxymetazoline is given as a spray into your nose on the same side to the maxillary tooth on which the dental procedure will be done.

After 10 minutes of receiving the medicine, the dentist needs to perform a test drill to make sure that the affected tooth is already numb (anesthetized) before starting the dental procedure.

Precautions while using tetracaine and oxymetazoline

It is very important that your doctor check your or your child’s progress closely while you are receiving tetracaine and oxymetazoline. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.

Tetracaine and oxymetazoline may cause a rare, but serious blood problem called methemoglobinemia. The risk may be increased in children younger than 6 months of age, elderly patients, or patients with certain inborn defects. It is more likely to occur in patients receiving too much of the medicine, but can also occur with small amounts. Check with your doctor right away if you or your child has the following symptoms after receiving tetracaine and oxymetazoline: pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nails, confusion, headache, lightheadedness, fast heartbeat, or unusual tiredness or weakness.

Call your dentist or doctor right away if you or your child have stuffy or runny nose, mild nose bleeds, dizziness, or trouble swallowing after receiving tetracaine and oxymetazoline.

Tetracaine and oxymetazoline may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Tell your dentist or doctor right away if you or your child have a rash, itching, trouble breathing or swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth while you are receiving tetracaine and oxymetazoline.

Avoid using other products containing oxymetazoline (eg, Afrin®) within 24 hours before the scheduled dental procedure. Do not use other inhaled medicines while using Kovanaze™.

Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
