It is important to follow proper administration techniques to avoid accidental injection into blood vessels. Always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions.

Vivacaine .005 mg/mL may interact with certain medications, including other anesthetics, blood pressure medications, and antidepressants.
