It has a high potential for abuse and dependence, and its use is contraindicated in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to cocaine hydrochloride or other ester-based anesthetics. The recommended dose is two pledgets, each containing 40 mg of cocaine hydrochloride, applied to each nasal cavity, with a total dose not exceeding 160 mg or 3 mg/kg.
