temporarily reduce or remove the sensation in a part of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcain\u00a0spinal\u00a0tongue is used in adults and children of all ages before surgeries to numb the lower body.\u00a0It is used, for example, to anesthetize bones to be operated on, in urological operations or operations on the abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know

during pregnancy.&nbsp;In later stages of pregnancy, however, the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;should be&nbsp;reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Breast-feeding:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcain\u00a0spinal\u00a0tongue passes into breast milk, but it is unlikely to have any effects on the breastfed baby<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;you receive, Marcain&nbsp;spinal&nbsp;tongue can have a transient effect on your mobility and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Marcain spinal tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will receive the medicine from a doctor or nurse in the form of an\u00a0injection\u00a0in the lower back.\u00a0The\u00a0dose of the Marcain\u00a0spinal\u00a0tongue is determined by the doctor and depends on the type of anesthesia you need, the area to be anesthetized, and the duration of the anesthesia.\u00a0Your\u00a0doctor will adjust\u00a0dose\u00a0one to your age, weight, and general health, using the lowest possible\u00a0dose\u00a0that provides adequate anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use too much Marcain spinal cord heavily &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be given this medicine in a hospital and it is unlikely that you will be given too much.&nbsp;If you are worried that you have been given too high a&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or if you have any questions about the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;you have been given, talk to your doctor or nurse who will give you the medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dose\u00a0one given in the spine with Marcain\u00a0spinal\u00a0heavy is low which means that overdose is unlikely.\u00a0If signs of overdose still occur, the physician should immediately discontinue the administration of the drug and begin appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of an overdose of the Marcain\u00a0spinal\u00a0tongue, acute poisoning\u00a0reactions\u00a0may occur.\u00a0The risk of poisoning reactions increases if the drug is accidentally injected into a blood vessel or if other local anesthetics are given at the same time.\u00a0The reactions mainly affect the\u00a0central nervous system\u00a0and the cardiovascular system.\u00a0For symptoms see section 4, Possible\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like
