AbstractLocal anesthetics are remarkably useful agents that enhance patient comfort and improve patient compliance. Their use, however, requires an understanding of their action, proper dosages, potential risks, and treatment of reactions. We have presented the history, pharmacokinetics, action, risks of using, and ways in which agents are used to treat the most common agents, with notes on the special aspects of each agent. With the increased awareness that these are, indeed, not benign substances, we hope that serious reactions can be avoided by prophylactic measures and proper treatment in the early stages of toxicity.
