Abstract
Abstract:
NumbrinoTM, a nasal anesthetic solution based on cocaine hydrochloride, has recently
been approved by the FDA for diagnostic procedures and surgery – now, what will be
the role of the controlling agencies and the legislation of producing countries to face the imminent
medicinal use of cocaine? Would chemistry be the protagonist in proposing alternative
approaches to help and overcome this issue? The debate is open with this commentary.
