Best answer:
Answer by Sensual Delights
NOPE!
Only in Hospital pharmacies, and in some LIMITED doctor’s offices that practice specialties in ear,nose & throat are they ever used.
It’s PURE pharmaceutical grade powdered cocaine hydrochloride suspended in either sterile water or sterile alcohol to be used ONLY to dilate pupils,nostrils, and into sinuses for exams and in use during surgeries.
SO, YOU CAN’T GET ANY FORM OF COCAINE in ANY OF THE 3000+ FDA APPROVED MEDS ON THE U.S. MARKET. IT SIMPLY ISN’T AVAILABLE FOR ANY USE OTHER THAN WHAT I LISTED due to all the problems coke has caused with people and it’s addiction.
THE LIQUIDS USED BY THE EAR NOSE & THROAT DR’S ARE CUSTOM MIXED AT A SPECIALITY PHARMACY, OR THEY CAN GET SMALL VIALS OF 4% COCAINE IN AMBER GLASS VIALS DIRECTLY FROM THE medication wholessalers IF the DR owns a “DEA Schedule II Narcotic Licence” which allows them to use the meds in practice; prescribe; or allows them to order them for limited stock for a small operating room/surgery area they may use that’s in like an office building where small & simple surgeries are preformed. “SURGI-CENTER” is how many are named & refered to.
COCAINE IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT IS A “SCHEDULE II NARCOTIC”
WHICH MEANS IT DOES INDEED HAVE SOME LEGITIMATE MEDICAL USE
but carries “A HIGH RISK OF ADDICTION/DEPENDENCY” (as all scheduled 2 drugs have this exact warning: Fentanyl, Morphine,Ritalin,Dilaudid are all examples of C2 drugs) BUT not in any way for non-medical or recreational use
Answer by botpos
No, Cocaine is not in any prescription meds per se. The closest thing would be the methamphetamine type medications such as Ritalin and Adderral. Cocaine HCl can be sold to a pharmacy as a control substance but most pharmacies would not carry this. It is primarily used as a local anesthetic.
