Cetacaine Reviews

"Upon application of Cetacaine for a dental procedure I experienced a rapid increase in saliva, local irritation, moderate respiratory distress, watery eyes. Within one (1) minute severe uncontrolled coughing, loss of voice, shortness of breath highly pronounced. The procedure was stopped. Metallic and solvent taste in mouth - not the "banana" flavor for me at all. The onset of a mild headache within one hour - lasting for ~8hours. Mucous membrane irritation in mouth remained for +8hours."


"Cetacaine was incredible to use for the pain in the back of my throat. It worked fast and for a good duration. Much better than the over the counter stuff which only lasted about 5-10 minutes."
