NB1: variable, dependent upon dose and route of administration
NB2: variable, dependent upon route of administration, medical history and many other factors. Maximum doses are unlikely to be reached in most adult dental patients for most dental procedures. This might not be so in children and the elderly. Maximum doses are expressed in terms of the local anaesthetic, not the vasoconstrictor. Many guidelines have different maximum doses for local anaesthetics with and without vasoconstrictors. In this publication, the maximum doses have not been adjusted for the inclusion of a vasoconstrictor (this is in line with the recommendations given in Malamed S. Handbook of local anasthesia. 5th ed. St Louis: Mosby; 2004). As with all medications, it is recommended that the clinician confirms details of dosages with the relevant data provided through the manufacturer
