The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Until that time the primary anesthetic in use was cocaine, however its undesirable side effects led scientists to seek out newer anesthetic drugs.
- Novocain was found to be comparatively safe and effective, although its anesthetic effects were weaker than cocaine and some patients proved highly allergic.
- However, none of the other anesthetics developed during this period proved more effective and Novocain quickly became the standard local anesthesia.
