Is It Take Felipressin At 2% Instead Of Local Anesthesia?

Morning! I'm Romualdo, 54. I'm from Brazil. I am hypertense and take propanolol 40mg and clorthalidone 12,5mg simultaneouly 2X a day for five years now. Happens I need to pay a visit to dentist in order to make a tooth extraction. But, I have been told by pals that I coundn't use beta blockers and vessel constrictors as local anesthesia, and told I can only take felipressin at 2%. Is that correct? Thank you for your help.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. felipressin is a vasoconstrictor that is used along with local anesthesia which increases blood pressure. if you want to get the tooth removed you can get it done under plane local anesthesia which doesnt contain vasoconstrictors. if the BP is under control you can also get it done with normal local anesthesia. consult a oral surgeon and get the tooth removed. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
