abstract: Dentists are aware of contraindications to the use of vasoconstrictors in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, there are some other noncardiac conditions we should know. This article discusses the absolute contraindications to the use of vasoconstrictors in patients with a history of hyperthyroidism, diabetes, allergy to sulfites, asthma, and pheochromocytoma.
