The ER uses it for nosebleeds! It decreases the blood flow in the nose by shrinking the vessels. It also numbs it.
no, only doctors doing surgury on a deviated septum used cocaine based products, dentists use novocaine.
Ah….doubtful
Perhaps in Columbia….they have a bit more acceptance of the drug…
You’re probably aware that Novacaine does come from the coca base…..so, in way they already use cocaine…just in purer form.
