Contraindications forVasoconstrictors
155
Below, we review the contraindications for sympathomi­metic vasoconstrictors (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and levonordefrin) in three sections: absolute contraindica­tions, relative contraindications, and contraindications of little relevance. In the last part, we examine the contraindi­cations to felypressin. We also explain that, although there is potential for further research, including well­studies on the effects of local anesthetics with vasocon­strictors, most clinical studies on the doses and regimens used in dentistry have shown that these solutions are very safe and that relatively few cases of adverse effects have been reported (Brown and Rhodus2005).
designed
Absolute Contraindications
Below, we analyze some situations in which sympathomi­metic vasoconstrictors, especially epinephrine, are abso­lutely contraindicated and cannot be used (Table10.1).
Uncontrolled Insulin- dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Administration of epinephrine in healthy patients increases plasma levels of the drug, therefore when levels of 150–200 pg/ml are reached (as with administration of two cartridges of a 1:100
16), the blood sugar level increases (Clutter etal.1980) as glucose is released by the liver as a result of increased neo­glycogenesis (Christensen 1979; Hamburg et al. 1980). Furthermore, when blood epinephrine levels greater than 400
pg/ml are reached (as with administration of five car­tridges of a 1:100 000 solution [10 μg/ml]) (Annex 16), release of insulin is inhibited through the direct action of epinephrine on the cells of the pancreas (Christensen1979; Hamburg et al. 1980), thus aggravating the increase in plasma glucose (Clutter etal.1980).
Studies on intraoral injection of anesthetic solutions
with epinephrine confirm this data (Meechan etal.1991a;
000 solution [10 μg/ml]) (Annex
Meechan1996). In addition, the anxiety felt by the patient (as is often the case in the dentist’s office) worsens the situ­ation by activating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing the release of glucose to the bloodstream (Christensen1979; Hamburg etal.1980; Berk etal.1985). Increased blood glucose (glycemia) for 20–30 well tolerated by healthy persons (Meechan etal. 1991a; Meechan1991b,1996).
Such situations are very serious in diabetic patients (Christensen1979) and are worse for patients with insulin­dependent diabetes mellitus (Berk etal.1985). Nevertheless, both types of patients can be treated at the dentist’s office and receive anesthetic solutions with epinephrine, pro­vided they are carefully monitored (Dos Santos­etal.2015). It is important to remember that these patients, and any patients with uncontrolled systemic disease, are considered ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) III (Wilson etal.2008). However, most insulin- dependent diabetic patients are young and need considerable disci­pline to administer insulin, maintain a balanced diet, and take regular and well­requirements are often difficult to meet owing to the fact that young people participate in sports, group activities, and activities that do not facilitate the necessary discipline for appropriate insulin treatment (Munroe1983). In these circumstances, there is an increased risk of diabetic ketoac­idosis or hyperglycemic reaction or worsening of an ongo­ing one (onset of these reactions is slow, usually hours or days) (Munroe1983; Perusse etal.1992b).
In conclusion, in patients with poorly controlled or uncontrolled insulin- dependent diabetes, dental local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine are absolutely con­traindicated (Munroe 1983; Perusse et al. 1992b). Furthermore, since these patients are considered ASA IV (Malamed2007; Wilson etal.2008), only emergency dental treatment (analgesics, antibiotics, etc.) is indicated for con­trol of pain and infection (Munroe1983).

Table10.1 Summary ofabsolute contraindications
forsympathomimetic vasoconstrictors.
1) Poorly controlled or uncontrolled insulin- dependent
diabetes mellitus.
2) Intolerance to sulfites.
3) Severe asthma controlled by corticosteroids.
4) Arterial hypertension due to pheochromocytoma.
5) Consumption of cocaine in the previous 24 hours.
6) Consumption of psychostimulants by patients with
cardiovascular disease
7) Allergy to vasoconstrictors.
Intolerance toSulfites
Sulfites (sulfite, bisulfite, sodium/potassium metabisulfite, and sulfur dioxide) are used as antimicrobial drugs, reduc­ing agents, and antibrowning agents in foods such as fruit, vegetables, salads, mushrooms, potatoes, shellfish, wine, beer, and juices; in addition, they are used in foods that do not contain thiamine, such as red meat (Bush etal.1986; Simon1986; Seng and Gay1986). Sulfites are also used as antioxidants in various medicines, including local anesthetic solutions containing sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors (Huang and Fraser1984; Schwartz and Sher 1985; Bush et al. 1986; Simon 1986; Seng and Gay 1986), therefore alldental local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine, nor­epinephrine, and levonordefrin contain sulfites (Huang and Fraser 1984; Schwartz and Sher 1985; Seng and Gay1986). The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes sulfites in the Generally Recognized As Safe category (Bush et al. 1986; Simon 1986; Seng and Gay1986).
Little is known about the mechanism of sensitization to sulfites (Schwartz and Sher 1985; Bush et al. 1986; Simon1986). It is thought to result from the following: (i) release of histamine via a nonimmune pathway, (ii) action of the parasympathetic nervous system and gastrin, and (iii) deficiency of the enzyme sulfite oxidase (responsible for oxidizing sulfite to inactive sulfate). It is therefore more appropriate to talk of intolerance or reactions to sulfites than allergy until we can better determine to what extent these reactions are immunological.
The prevalence of intolerance to sulfites in the general population is unknown, although the condition is consid­ered extremely rare (except in the case of asthmatic patients [see below]) (Bush et al.1986). Furthermore, although it has been demonstrated that subcutaneous sensitization to sulfites is very difficult (the oral route and, even more so, the inhaled route are the most common routes of sensitiza­tion) (Goldfarb and Simon1984; Bush et al.1986), there have been reports of reactions (urticaria, angioedema,
inflammation, dyspnea, etc.) after administration of dental local anesthesia with epinephrine solutions caused by the sulfites they contain (Huang and Fraser 1984; Schwartz and Sher 1985; Schwartz et al. 1989; Dooms-
Goossens
etal.1989; Campbell etal.2001).
In conclusion, anesthetic solutions containing adrener­gic vasoconstrictors are absolutely contraindicated in patients who do not tolerate sulfites, since these solutions contain sulfites as antioxidants.
Asthma Controlled withCorticosteroids
For reasons that remain unknown, asthmatic patients are particularly sensitive to sulfites, and it has been estimated that around 5% of asthmatics could be very sensitive to these drugs (Seng and Gay 1986; Simon1986). Although other authors have reported this figure to be excessive (Bush etal.1986), a more selective study has shown that not all asthmatics are the same. Thus, 8% of patients with
severe asthma controlled by corticosteroids are sensitized to sulfites, whereas fewer than 1% of asthmatics who do not need corticosteroids are sensitized (Bush et al. 1986). In
addition, the literature shows that most asthmatics who experience bronchospasms and reactions to sulfites are patients who need corticosteroids (Bush et al. 1986; Schwartz etal.1989).
In conclusion, in patients with severe asthma whose dis­ease is controlled with corticosteroids, local anesthetic solutions containing adrenergic vasoconstrictors are abso­lutely contraindicated, since 8% do not tolerate the sulfites used as antioxidants in these solutions. Furthermore, asthma patients whose disease is difficult to control and have frequent attacks that require admission to hospital and corticosteroids are classed as ASA IV, therefore only immediate dental treatment is indicated (analgesics, anti­biotics, etc.) for control of pain and infection (Perusse etal.1992b; Steinbacher and Glick2001; Malamed2007).
Pheochromocytoma- induced Arterial Hypertension
Pheochromocytoma is an unusual tumor of the medulla of the adrenal gland that is generally benign and produces epinephrine and norepinephrine (Hickler and Thorn1977; Cryer 2001; Keiser 2001). The most typical symptom in most cases is arterial hypertension, and the tumor is thought to cause fewer than 0.1–0.5% of diagnosed cases of hypertension (Sutton etal.1981; Plouin etal.1981).
The arterial hypertension produced by this tumor is per­manent in 50–60% of cases, although 25–50% of cases involve paroxysmal hypertension (Hickler and Thorn1977; Keiser2001), that is, hypertension that takes the form of crises lasting minutes or even hours that are usually

spontaneous or caused by physical effort, emotional ten­sion, or abdominal palpation. Attacks of paroxysmal hyper­tension, which result from release of catecholamines, can lead to death from myocardial infarction (even in the absence of heart disease), from arrhythmias, or from brain hemorrhage (Hickler and Thorn1977; Keiser2001).
In conclusion, sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors are contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma owing to the risk of fatal heart abnormalities or cerebrovas­cular accidents (Perusse et al.1992b). In addition, these patients can be considered ASA III or IV depending on the degree of severity.
Recent Consumption ofCocaine
Cocaine was addressed in Chapter1, since it was the first local anesthetic, and in Chapter 12, since it is a topical anesthetic that is still in use. Illegal consumption of and addiction to cocaine in developed countries cause serious medical and social problems (Friedlander and Gorelick1988; Goulet etal.1992).
Cocaine taken intranasally is quickly inactivated on entering the bloodstream by plasma pseudocholinesterase. However, it remains in blood for more than 6 peak at 60
minutes and a half- life of 1.5 hours (Annex 11).
hours, with a
This is because the drug remains in the mucosa for more than 3 hours owing to its vasoconstrictive effect (Van Dyke et al. 1976). Consumption stimulates the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral sympathetic nervous system (Benchimol etal.1978; Pasternack etal.1985) with general- ized sensitization of the body to the action of catecholamines (Tainter etal.1949; Tye etal.1967; Benchimol etal.1978; Kossowosky and Lyon 1984; Nanji and Filipenko 1984; Howard etal. 1985; Goulet et al. 1992). Therefore, high doses can produce a direct toxic effect on the heart, with possible coronary spasm (Benchimol etal.1978; Kossowosky and Lyon 1984; Schachne et al. 1984; Friedlander and Gorelick1988). Ingestion results in increased arterial blood pressure and heart rate, with increased oxygen consump­tion by the heart that can in turn lead to the following:
Hypertensive crises with a risk of cerebrovascular acci-
dents (Friedlander and Gorelick1988).
Arrhythmias (Benchimol et al. 1978; Nanji and
Filipenko1984; Friedlander and Gorelick1988).
Angina pectoris (Pasternack etal.1985) or acute myocar-
dial infarction, even in young patients with no previous
history of heart disease (Kossowosky and Lyon 1984;
Schachne et al.1984; Cregler and Mark1985; Howard
etal.1985; Pasternack etal.1985; Weiss1986).
The dentist should try to identify recent consumption of cocaine based on suspicious behavior (mania, restlessness,
irritability, or depression, dilated pupils, red eyes, runny, or bloody nose, frequent intakes of breath through the nose without allergy or having a cold, etc.), careless appearance (Friedlander and Gorelick 1988), or as part of taking a medical history and asking about recreational drug use (Goulet etal. 1992), although patients may not disclose their consumption.
In conclusion, anesthetic solutions containing sympath­omimetic vasoconstrictors, especially epinephrine, are contraindicated in patients who have consumed cocaine during the previous 24 hours (Goulet etal.1992), given that plasma levels of the drug are maintained for more than 6

Children with psychological disorders, such as attention­deficit hyperactivity disorder, are generally treated with amphetamine and other psychostimulants (atomoxetine, dexamfetamine, modafinil, etc.) (Table10.2) (Moore and Hersh 2006). If these patients also have cardiovascular problems such as arrhythmia or arterial hypertension, then local anesthetic solutions with sympathomimetic vasocon­strictors (mainly epinephrine and levonordefrin) are contraindicated (Moore and Hersh 2006; Hersh and Moore2008).
Note: For some authors, selegiline, an antiparkinson and antidepressant monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), is absolutely contraindicated in patients receiving sympatho­mimetic amines such as epinephrine. Selegiline can cause increases in arterial pressure since it produces ampheta­mine compounds (- metamfetamine and - amfetamine) during metabolism in the liver (Friedlander etal.2009).
Allergy toVasoconstrictors
We generally think of vasoconstrictors as epinephrine and norepinephrine. Given that these drugs are natural neuro­transmitters and hormones, there are no cases of allergy to their base forms, as this would not be compatible with human life. However, exogenous forms administered in local anesthetics include bitartrates and hydrochlorides,

and two cases of allergy to epinephrine have been reported (Kohase and Umino2004).
Felypressin (Octapressin®), which is used in many coun­tries in the European Union, and levonordefrin (synthetic vasoconstrictor), which is used in the United States, are artificial drugs, therefore they can cause allergic sensitiza­tion. In fact, one case of allergy to levonordefrin has been reported (Germishuys and Anderson 1982). Allergy is an absolute contraindication for these drugs.
Of note, these situations are exceptional since, despite years of experience with these drugs, only three cases of allergy have been reported.
Relative Contraindications
Below, we present those situations (mainly drug interac­tions) where sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors such as norepinephrine and levonordefrin are absolutely contrain­dicated, but where epinephrine can be administered, albeit with important restrictions. In such situations, we have two alternatives:
1) Solutions with epinephrine where limitations are
applied, as follows:
The maximum concentration is 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml),
therefore higher concentrations are contraindicated (1:80 000 [12.5 μg/ml] and 1:50 000 [20 μg/ml]), but not lower concentrations (1:200 (McCarthy1982; American Dental Association2003; Malamed2004).
The current maximum dose of epinephrine is no
longer 200
μg, although much lower doses of 27–50 μg can be administered depending on the case. A suitable alternative in these cases is articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:200 thetic parameter of 92%-
000 (5 μg/ml) and an anes-
45/190- 260.
2) Solutions that do not contain epinephrine or any other
sympathomimetic vasoconstrictor, such as the follow­ing (see Chapter7):
Solutions that do not contain a vasoconstrictor, such
as mepivacaine 3% with an anesthetic parameter of 91%- 15/100- 190 or prilocaine 4% with an anesthetic parameter of 87%- 10/75- 180.
Prilocaine 3% with felypressin 0.03 IU (0.54 μg/ml)
and an anesthetic parameter of 88%- 25/180- 220.
The problem with an epinephrine- free alternative is that the anesthetic parameter is not very potent (see Chapter7), and we must remember that onset of pain owing to defi­cient anesthesia leads to a more marked reaction of the sympathetic nervous system, with an increased risk for the patient (Annex 17).
000 [5 μg/ml])
The maximum number of 1.8-
ml cartridges that can be administered with epinephrine in these circumstances is summarized in Table10.3.
Nonselective Beta- blockers
Beta- blockers, also known as beta- adrenergic antagonists and beta­two types (Table 10.4): (i) cardioselective beta­which only act on β (ii)nonselective beta­cardioselective β
adrenergic receptor blockers, are classified into
blockers,
receptors, mainly in the heart, and
1
blockers, which act by blocking both
receptors and β2 vasodilators in the arte-
1
rioles of skeletal muscle and via many other actions (Table6.7, Chapter6). These drugs are used in patients with disease such as arterial hypertension, angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, vascular headaches (migraine), hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, etc. (Foster and Aston1983; Goulet etal.1992; Yagiela1999).
Clinical trials in hypertensive patients (Houben etal.1982) and with healthy volunteers (Hjemdahl et al. 1983; Reeves etal.1984; Dzubow1986; Rehling etal.1986; Sugimura etal.1995; Niwa etal.1996) have demonstrated the following:
Administration of epinephrine in patients who take car-
dioselective beta-
blockers produces very moderate hemodynamic effects (Houben et al. 1982; Hjemdahl etal.1983; Rehling etal.1986); the same can be said of norepinephrine (Hjemdahl et al. 1983). The selective beta blockers block β
effects, namely vasoconstriction and vasodilata-
and β
2
effects, leaving the alpha effects
1
tion, respectively, and therefore there is less of a hyper­tensive response to epinephrine.
Administration of epinephrine in patients taking nonse-
lective beta-
blockers produces severe hemodynamic effects, with increased arterial pressure and a reflex decrease in heart rate (bradycardia) (Houben etal.1982; Hjemdahl etal.1983; Reeves etal.1984; Dzubow1986; Rehling et al. 1986; Sugimura et al. 1995; Niwa et al. 1996). The same is true of norepinephrine (Hjemdahl etal.1983; Reeves etal.1984), although with lesser intensity, given that the vasodilatory β
effect of
2
norepinephrine is much less pronounced than that of epinephrine (Reeves etal.1984). The same is true of lev­onordefrin (Mito and Yagiela 1988). The nonselective beta blockers block all β
and β2 effects, leaving the alpha
1
effects, namely vasoconstriction, unopposed, and there­fore there is a risk for a hypertensive response to epinephrine.
The mechanism underlying the interaction between sym-
pathomimetic vasoconstrictors (epinephrine and norepi­nephrine) and nonselective beta- blockers is based on

Epinephrine can be used, albeit at lower doses (lower number of cartridges). Articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:200 000 (5 μg/ml) is very useful in these cases since, as it contains half the amount of epinephrine as the 1:100 000 solution (10 μg/ml), we can administer double the amount of solution with similar potency and efficacy, although this is somewhat lower than the standard solution of lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100 000, as indicated in its anesthetic parameter.

epinephrine, thus extending the duration of action of the exogenous catecholamines (Hjemdahl et al. 1983). It is interesting that, even though these reactions are thought to be dose- dependent, there may be idiopathic cases in which specific sensitivity to these adrenergic receptors aggravates the reaction (Dzubow 1986). A curious effect is that by blocking the vasodilatory β
effect, nonselective beta-
2
blockers indirectly increase the vasoconstrictor α affect, thus increasing the anesthetic potency of local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine and the duration of soft tissue and pulpal anesthesia (Zhang etal.1999).
A review of the literature reveals case reports of patients
treated with propranolol (nonselective beta- blocker) who blockade of the vasodilatory β2 receptors of the arterioles of skeletal muscle by the beta- blocker, which increases arterial pressure (systolic and diastolic). Given that only the vaso­constrictor α effect remains, there is a risk of cerebrovascu­lar accidents (Hansbrough and Near 1980) and a reflex decrease in heart rate (bradycardia) resulting from blockade

onordefrin at 75 μg (Mito and Yagiela 1988). After a few
minutes, the patients experienced an episode of arterial
hypertension accompanied by bradycardia lasting
10–15 minutes, which, in some cases, was complicated by a

cerebrovascular accident (Hansbrough and Near1980) or cardiac arrest (Foster and Aston1983).
The measure proposed in these cases was not to use local anesthetic solutions containing epinephrine (Goulet et al. 1992) or if they did contain epinephrine, then the dose had to be very low (Dzubow1986), namely, the equiv­alent of 1.5 cartridges of epinephrine 1:100 which represents 27
μg (Yagiela 1999; Naftalin and
000 (10 μg/ml),
Yagiela2002). In addition, arterial pressure and heart rate had to be monitored after 5
minutes (Yagiela1999; Naftalin
and Yagiela2002; Malamed2004).
In conclusion, in these patients, local anesthetic solu­tions containing epinephrine can be used, although at a maximum concentration of 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) and an
absolute maximum dose of 27
μg (1.5 × 1.8- ml cartridges).
Heart rate and arterial pressure should be monitored before administration of local anesthetic containing vasopressor as well as 5
minutes following administration.
COMT Inhibitor- type Antiparkinson Drugs
The new antiparkinson medicines tolcapone (Tasmar®) and entacapone produce reversible blockade of catechol­O- methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme that inactivates peripheral levodopa, therefore these drugs are dopaminer­gics since they increase dopamine levels. However, they also inhibit inactivation of exogenously administered cat­echolamines (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine, and lev­onordefrin) by COMT, leading to increased arterial pressure, increased heart rate, and risk of arrhythmias (Illi etal.1995; Ganzberg2003; Friedlander etal.2009). There have been no reports of this interaction to date, probably because the drugs are new and little experience is available.
In conclusion, epinephrine should be reduced to 1.5–3 cartridges of epinephrine 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml), that is, an
absolute maximum dose of 27–50
μg (Hersh and Moore2008;
Friedlander etal.2009).

Special attention should be given to the good tolerance of hypertensive patients (controlled and uncontrolled) to dental local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine reported in a systematic review (Bader etal.2002) and of patients with cardiovascular disease in general, albeit within certain limits (Annex 17). Of note, it is important to control pain in these patients, and, as epinephrine in local anesthetic solutions plays a key role in pain control (Annex 17), patients should receive local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine, although not exceeding
maximum concentration of 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) and
the not exceeding the absolute maximum dose of 40 (McCarthy 1982; Campbell et al. 1996; Rahn and Ball2001; American Dental Association2003; Malamed 2004,2007; Herman and Ferguson2010; Anderson and Bosack2014), that is, 2.2–2.5 cartridges of epinephrine 1:100 000.

ASA III Patients with Cardiovascular Conditions
ASA III patients have severe systemic disease that limits activity but is not disabling (no symptoms at rest or with standard exercise). They have reduced tolerance to physical stress (pain) and psychological stress (anxiety). Cardiovascular disorders affecting this group include the following:
Uncontrolled arterial hypertension with moderate blood
pressure (95–115/160–200 mmHg) (McCarthy 1982; Abraham- Inpijn etal.1988; Malamed2007).

tion, vascular disease, rheumatic disease, etc.) that leads
Digitalis Glycosides (Digoxin)
Digoxin and digitoxin are digitalis glycosides used as cardi­otonic agents for heart failure and arrhythmias. These drugs have a low therapeutic index, that is, the difference between therapeutic and toxic levels is small. Small dose modifications can easily lead to toxic levels (Hersh and Moore2008).
Intravenous infusion of epinephrine (Fellows etal.1985) and intraoral injection (Meechan and Rawlins1987,1988; Meechan et al.1991a) reduce plasma potassium levels on entering the cells (Fellows et al. 1985). Infusion reaches

maximum levels at 10–20 minutes and then tends to normalize (Meechan and Rawlins 1987, 1988; Meechan et al. 1991a). This is of no relevance in healthy persons. However, in patients with cardiovascular disease who take digitalis glycosides, epinephrine can cause arrhythmias (Kunin et al. 1962; Meechan et al. 1991a; Naftalin and Yagiela2002; Hersh and Moore 2008), since reduction of plasma potassium levels worsens these situations (Meechan and Rawlins1988).
Although there is no recommended regimen in these
cases, some authors recommend an absolute maximum
dose of 40
μg of epinephrine until more information
becomes available (Hersh and Moore 2008). The dose is equivalent to 2.2 cartridges of epinephrine 1:
00 000.
Amphetamines andPsychostimulants
Amphetamines and psychostimulant derivatives (Table10.2) are used in children with attention-
deficit and hyperactivity disorder (see above) (Nissen2006; Moore and Hersh2006; Hersh and Moore2008). These diseases can persist into adolescence and even into adulthood (Hersh and Moore2008).
The drugs act by releasing norepinephrine and other cat­echolamines or by blocking their uptake (Hersh and Moore2008), with the result that they increase heart rate and blood pressure (Nissen2006; Moore and Hersh2006). There have been reports of children with acute myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accidents after receiving these drugs (Nissen2006; Hersh and Moore2008). In these conditions, exogenous administration of catecholamines in local anesthetic solutions can increase the risks (Hersh and Moore2008).
While no definitive criterion has been established, some authors recommend reducing the maximum doses of epi­nephrine in line with the recommendations for tricyclic antidepressants, that is, an absolute maximum dose of 50
μg of epinephrine (Hersh and Moore2008), which is equiva­lent to 2.7 cartridges of epinephrine 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml).
Tricyclic Antidepressants
Antidepressive drugs are grouped into four major catego­ries (Table 10.5) according to their mechanism of action and chemical structure. For our purposes, the most impor­tant are tricyclic and tetracyclic or heterocyclic antidepres­sants, since these inhibit uptake of norepinephrine in adrenergic nerve endings, thus increasing their concentration at receptor sites (Boakes et al. 1973; Hollister 1978; Yagiela et al.1983; Yagiela 1999; Naftalin and Yagiela 2002), including heart muscle (Fowler et al. 1976; Yagiela 1999), and boosting the effect of

sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors. Tricyclic antidepres­sants are used to treat depression, neuropathic pain
(atypical orofacial pain, chronic pain, etc.), severe abnormalities caused by anxiety, nocturnal enuresis in children etc. (Goulet etal.1992; Yagiela1999; Naftalin and Yagiela2002).
Experimental animal studies (Goldman1971a; Goldman etal.1971b; Yagiela etal.1983,1985) and clinical trials in healthy volunteers (Svedmyr1968; Boakes etal.1973) and in patients with depression (Persson and Siwers1975) have shown that administration of catecholamines such as epi­nephrine, norepinephrine, and levonordefrin in patients taking tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressants produces hypertensive reactions and alterations of heart rhythm (arrhythmias) by boosting the effect of epinephrine two-
to fourfold and that of norepinephrine and levonordefrin four- to ninefold (Svedmyr1968; Boakes etal.1973; Yagiela et al.1985). It is interesting to point out that long- term administration of this type of antidepressant (more than 2–3 weeks) can lead to desensitization to sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors and therefore a reduced effect of the inter­action (Moyer et al. 1979; Weiss et al. 1980; Brown and Rhodus2005).

MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) antidepressants
are still associates with this
interaction in many books on dental local anesthesia (Bennett 1984; Roberts and Sowray1987; Gaudi and Arreto2005). However, experimen­tal animal studies (Yagiela etal.1983,1985) and clinical tri­als (Elis etal.1967; Boakes etal.1973) have been unable to demonstrate this type of interaction. This is logical, given that the main enzyme responsible for inactivation of adren­ergic vasoconstrictors (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and levonordefrin) is COMT and not the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibited by MAOI drugs (Boakes etal.1973; Yagiela et al. 1985). Phenylephrine, a vasoconstrictor that is no longer in use, is the only drug that is metabolized by MAO and can be boosted by MAOIs (Yagiela etal.1985).
Modern selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as those derived from fluoxetine (Prozac®), are not subject to this type of interaction because they do not inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine, only serotonin (De Jonghe and Swinkles1992). These antidepressants are rap­idly replacing tricyclic antidepressants.
In conclusion, in the case of patients who take tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, many authors have agreed that local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine can be used, although at a maximum concentration of 1:100 000 (10
μg/ml) and an absolute maximum dose of 50 μg (Yagiela etal.1985; Goulet etal.1992; Naftalin and Yagiela2002; Malamed2004), which is equivalent to 2.7 cartridges.
Interactions Involving Drugs that are No Longer inUse
Below, we analyze potential drug interactions involving drugs that are no longer or very rarely in use; however, the provider should be aware of the interactions.
Older Antihypertensive Agents (Anti- adrenergic Drugs)
Guanethidine and reserpine (alkaloid of rauwolfia) are neuro- adrenergic blockers that are used in the treatment of arterial hypertension (Jastak and Yagiela 1983; Jastak et al. 1995; Yagiela 1999). The drugs have almost been replaced by new antihypertensive agents, which are much more efficacious and safer.
Guanethidine and reserpine act by impairing the release of neurotransmitters (norepinephrine) in the sympathetic nerve endings and leading to depletion of catecholamines in many organs (Boura and Green 1965; Mitchell and Oates1970), therefore prolonged use causes hypersensitivity of the adrenergic receptors to the direct action of sympatho­mimetic vasoconstrictors (Emmelin and Engström 1961; Fleming 1962; Boura and Green 1965; Katz and Epstein1968), thus generating a risk of exaggerated response to exogenous catecholamines and increased arterial pres­sure and arrhythmias (Fleming1962; Katz and Epstein1968;
Jastak et al. 1995). The effect is more pronounced with norepinephrine (Fleming1962; Boura and Green1965).
In conclusion, patients treated with older antihyperten­sive agents can receive local anesthetic solutions with epi­nephrine, although at a maximum concentration of 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) and an absolute maximum concentra-
tion of 50
General Anesthesia (Halothane andThiopental)
μg, that is, equivalent to 2.7 cartridges.
Halothane is a potent inhaled general anesthetic that sensi­tizes the heart to the action of epinephrine (Joas and Stevens 1971; Munson and Tucker 1975; Johnston etal.1976; Hayashi etal.1993) and, probably, levonordefrin (Yagiela 1999). Sodium thiopental is an ultrashort-
acting barbiturate that is administered intravenously for induction of general anesthesia. It also sensitizes the heart to the action of epinephrine (Hayashi et al. 1993; Christensen et al.1993). However, in the presence of exogenous epi­nephrine, both halothane and thiopental can alter heart rhythm, thus leading to severe arrhythmia (Hilley etal.1984). Of note, the action of norepinephrine is more intense than that of epinephrine when altering heart rate in these cases (Deterling etal.1954; Katz and Katz1966).
In the case of general anesthesia in patients undergoing oral surgery, sympathomimetic vasoconstrictors can be used as hemostatic agents to reduce bleeding and thus make it easier for the surgeon to visualize the field. In these circumstances – general anesthesia with halothane and complementary local anesthesia– a paradoxical finding is that the likelihood of arrhythmias is reduced (Kaufman1965; Plowman etal.1974; Johnston etal.1976). In addition, concomitant administration of local anesthe­sia and general anesthesia reduce post-
operative pain and is safer than general anesthesia alone (Kaufman etal.2005). This observation seems to result from the fact that local anesthetic interrupts the painful stimulus reaching the brain and prevents the adrenal sympathetic response (Alexander etal.1972; Plowman etal.1974). The new gen­eral anesthetics (isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane) are not subject to these interactions. Consequently, halo­thane has fallen into disuse.
In conclusion, patients placed under general anesthesia can receive local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine, albeit at a maximum concentration of 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) and an absolute maximum dose of 100 μg (Katz etal.1962; Katz and Epstein 1968; Buhrow and Bastron 1981). Similarly, patients receiving sodium thiopental can receive the same solutions of local anesthetic with epinephrine at the same concentrations with an absolute maximum dose of
1 μg/kg if used in combination with halothane and 2 μg/kg if used with another general anesthetic gas (Christensen
etal.1993; Yagiela1999).
