why was cocaine used medicinally in the past and why did it stopped being used?
In: Biology
I work in an Acute care pharmacy (Inpatient Hospital Pharmacy). While not everyday, Cocaine is used regularly in the O.R. I’m no authority, but I’ve been told it is one of the most effective anesthetics. There are a limited, but not uncommon uses for it. Cocaine is a D.E.A. schedule II, not illegal, but highly restricted and controlled. Similar to morphine, oxycodone, Adderall, etc.
