Pregnancy Category:CUses.The drug was first isolated fromcocaplants in the mid-1800s. Cocaine
apparently functions as an insecticide in the plants, but the substance has had
no commercial agricultural use for that purpose. Early medical applications
included administration to treat addiction toalcoholand opiates, but persons
addicted to those drugs did not better on cocaine. Like many stimulants, co-
caine has anorectic (weight-reducing) properties that decline as usage stretches
over time; but the drug’s main medical use has been as a local anesthetic,
particularly in ear, nose, and mouth surgery. Experimental use as an antide-
pressant has been unsuccessful. Cocaine has been used to treat tonsillitis, ear-
ache, toothache, burns, skin rash, hay fever, asthma, hemorrhoids, nerve pain,
nausea, and vomiting. It makes the body’s immune system more active. For
medical purposes cocaine has been largely superseded by drugs having less
potential for abuse, but it is still called an excellent anesthetic for nose and
throat surgery, has been used for gynecological surgery in modern times, and
still has ophthalmological use as eye drops, although the latter employment
must be cautious in order to prevent corneal damage. Due to hazards of co-
caine injections, since the 1920s medical usage of cocaine has been largely
limited to topical (applying it directly to a body surface).
