Abstract
Epinephrine, dextromethorphan, 3-methoxymorphinan, and dextrorphan are known to have local anesthetic effects as infiltrative cutaneous analgesia in rats. Epinephrine increased the potency of bupivacaine, but not dextromethorphan, 3-methoxymorphinan, or dextrorphan as an infiltrative anesthetic. The cutaneous analgesic effects of adding epinephrine to dextromethorphan, 3-methoxymorphinan, or dextrorphan, are similar to combinations of 2 local anesthetics.
