Marcain with Adrenaline is used to prevent or relieve pain during dental procedures, but it will not put you to sleep.

Marcain with Adrenaline belongs to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. It is injected into the mouth where it makes the nerves unable to pass messages to the brain.

Depending on the amount used, Marcain with Adrenaline will either totally stop pain or will cause a partial loss of feeling.

Marcain with Adrenaline is used with adrenaline to make it last longer. Adrenaline makes the blood vessels at the site of injection narrower, which means you bleed less. It is then easier for your dentist to see what is happening.

Your dentist will have explained why you are being treated with Marcain with Adrenaline.

Follow all directions given to you by your dentist carefully. They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet. Ask your dentist if you want more information.

Marcain with Adrenaline is not addictive.
