WHAT ESPESTESIN FORTE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Espestesin Forte is used to numb (anaesthetise) your oral cavity
during dental procedures. This medicine
contains two active substances:
•
articaine, a local anaesthetic which prevents pain, and
•
adrenaline (epinephrine), a vasoconstrictor which narrows the blood
vessels at the site of injection,
and thereby prolongs the effect of articaine. It also decreases
bleeding during surgery.
You will be given Espestesin Forte by a dentist.
Espestesin Forte is for children over 4 years of age (ca. 20 kg in
body weight), adolescents and adults.
Espestesin Forte is more adapted to procedures lasting longer or with
possible significant bleeding.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN ESPESTESIN FORTE
DO NOT USE ESPESTESIN FORTE IF YOU SUFFER FROM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
•
allergy to articaine or epinephrine or any of the other ingredients of
these medicines (listed in
section 6);
•
allergy to other local anaesthetics;
•
epilepsy, not adequately controlled by drug treatment.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Local and loco-regional anaesthesia in dental procedures.
Espestesin is indicated in adults, adolescents and children above 4
years of age (or from 20 kg of body weight).
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For professional use by physicians or dentists only.
Posology
For all populations, the lowest dose leading to effective anaesthesia
should be used. The necessary dosage must be
determined on an individual basis.
For a routine procedure, the normal dose for adult patients is of 1
cartridge, but the contents of less of a cartridge may be
sufficient for effective anaesthesia. At the discretion of the
dentist, more cartridges may be required for more extensive
procedures without exceeding the maximum recommended dose.
For most routine dental procedures, it is preferable to use
Espestesin.
For more complex procedures, such as requiring pronounced hemostasis,
it is preferable to use Espestesin Forte.
Concomitant use of sedatives to reduce patient anxiety:
The maximum safe dose of local anaesthetics may be reduced in sedated
patients due to an additive effect on central nervous
system depression (see section4.5).

ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS (12 TO 18 YEARS OFAGE)
In adults and adolescents, the maximum articaine dose is 7 mg/kg with
an absolute maximum articaine dose of 500 mg. The
