Medications
We offer a combination of medications to make you feel more
comfortable. All patients who wish to receive medications will need a
ride from the clinic after the procedure is performed.
- Fentanyl (Sublimaze) is a synthetic narcotic that
acts as a painkiller by binding to your pain receptors. You will still
feel sensations such as touch and pressure, but your body will feel
comfortable and minimize any discomfort.
- Versed (Midazolam) is an anti-anxiety medication
that will help you to feel more relaxed and sleepy. A side effect of
this medication is that it has amnesic properties, which means you may
not remember all of the procedure.
- Lidocaine (a local anesthetic) numbs the nerves
in the cervix and lower uterus.
