Have any of you had an allergic reaction to Xylocain-Epineph 1.5%1:200k Inj 30ml? My dentist gave it to me and I experienced some serious side effects.
I recently had a dental procedure where the dentist used Xylocain-Epineph 1.5%1:200k Inj 30ml as a local anesthetic. I've had local anesthesia before with no issues, but this time I started feeling extremely dizzy and my face became swollen. I had to rush to the hospital, and the doctors told me I might have had an allergic reaction. After researching the medication, I found that it does have some serious side effects. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Was it a reaction to the lidocaine, the epinephrine, or both? Should I avoid this medication in the future, and if so, what alternatives should I ask for?
