3) Cocaine
4) Chlorprocaine 

📝 Explanation:

It is also used to treat ventricular tachycardia and to perform nerve blocks

Dosage Of Local Anesthesia:

1) Safety dose of 2% Lignocaine is 4.5mg/kg without a Vasoconstrictor

Without a Vasoconstrictor 300 mg (maximum dose)

2) Safety dose of 2% Lignocaine is 7mg/kg with a Vasoconstrictor

With a Vasoconstrictor – 500 mg (maximum dose)
