Uses
Indicated in adult and pediatric patients for production of local or regional anesthesia for surgery, dental, oral surgery, diagnostic, therapeutic, and obstetrical procedures.

Interactions
Local anesthetics: additive toxic effects. MAOIs/tricyclic antidepressants: severe hypertension risk. Ergot oxytocics: severe hypertension/cerebrovascular accident risk.
