Medications
Sublimaze (Fentanyl)
You may also receive an injection of Sublimaze - a pain medication which
aids in relaxation and further controls any discomfort you experience. You
will receive the medication just prior to your procedure. It begins to take
effect within seconds, and a pleasant, relaxing, slightly drowsy feeling
lasts about 30 minutes. By the time you leave the clinic, the effect of the
Sublimaze will wear off. However, you should not drive a motor vehicle, nor
operate any machinery for a minimum of four hours.
Versed
You may also receive an injection of Versed. Versed
is a tranquilizing agent
that will increase the calming effect of all the medications. It will
heighten your sense of relaxation and may make you feel very drowsy. You
should not drive or operate machinery for a minimum of 12 hours.
In order to receive
all these medications and maximize pain management it will be required that
you have some one driving you home from the office. Please contact our
office for any extenuation circumstances regarding your particular
situation. |
