Difference between Cocaine and Local anesthetic

Cocaine vs. Local anesthetic

Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant mostly used as a recreational drug. A local anesthetic (LA) is a medication that causes reversible absence of pain sensation, although other senses are often affected, as well.

Similarities between Cocaine and Local anesthetic

Cocaine and Local anesthetic have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Adrenaline, Anesthetic, Base (chemistry), Benzocaine, Cardiac arrest, Central nervous system, Coca, Epidural administration, Hypertension, Ion channel, Lidocaine, List of cocaine analogues, Local anesthetic, Peru, Procaine, Proxymetacaine, Spinal anaesthesia, Tetracaine, Tinnitus, Topical anesthetic, Topical tac, Vasoconstriction.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication.

Anesthetic

An anesthetic (or anaesthetic) is a drug to prevent pain during surgery, completely blocking any feeling as opposed to an analgesic.

Base (chemistry)

In chemistry, bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide (OH−) ions, are slippery to the touch, can taste bitter if an alkali, change the color of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acids to form salts, promote certain chemical reactions (base catalysis), accept protons from any proton donor, and/or contain completely or partially displaceable OH− ions.

Benzocaine

Benzocaine, sold under the brand name Orajel among others, is an ester local anesthetic commonly used as a topical pain reliever or in cough drops.

Epidural administration

Epidural administration (from Ancient Greek ἐπί, "on, upon" + dura mater) is a medical route of administration in which a drug such as epidural analgesia and epidural anaesthesia or contrast agent is injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Spinal anaesthesia

Spinal anaesthesia (or spinal anesthesia), also called spinal block, subarachnoid block, intradural block and intrathecal block, is a form of regional anaesthesia involving the injection of a local anaesthetic into the subarachnoid space, generally through a fine needle, usually long.
