[edit] Cocaine for medical use
Hi,
Recently you wrote "Cocaine is available for medical use if warrented by the physician, I've seen cocaine sulfate used for in-hospital procedures within the past year".
I'm interested to know the procedure specifically, whether it was a commercial pharmaceutical product and the general country/region this took place. I've been curious whether cocaine is actually still used medically yet, despite people claiming it is, I've been able to find zero substantive evidence to support this. For instance, no medical supply distributors list cocaine in any form as an available product (while they do list other Schedule II drugs like Fentanyl). Likewise, I can't find cocaine listed anywhere in references regarding modern medical procedures, only synthetic anesthetics like lidocaine or benzocaine.
Any help or references you could give to help clear this up would be appreciated. --Bk0 (Talk) 00:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
