Just received a prescription for Numbrino 40mg/ml Nasal Sol 10ml - anyone have experience with it?
I just got prescribed Numbrino 40mg/ml Nasal Sol 10ml for an upcoming nasal endoscopy. My doctor said it's supposed to numb the area and reduce bleeding, but the side effects list is a bit intimidating. Has anyone else used this? I'm wondering if the side effects are as bad as they sound, or if it's usually a smooth process. Also, are there any tips for using it? I've seen it's a nasal spray, but is there a special technique or anything to make the process less uncomfortable?
Numbrino is a form of cocaine, used medically for this purpose. You can read up on how it works, but don't ask about recreational use here.
I had a similar procedure and used Numbrino. It worked well for me, but I did experience a bit of a headache afterward. Just make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
There are some interesting reviews on this online. Most people say it works well, but a few have had severe reactions. Just be aware of the risks.
Use an antibiotic ointment in your nostrils before the procedure if you can. It helps a lot with the discomfort and potential swelling.
How does it compare to other numbing agents used in nasal procedures? I've had lidocaine and it worked fine. I wonder if this is just as effective?
