  • Description Dimethocaine, also known as DMC or larocaine, is a compound with stimulating effects similar to those of cocaine. It was used in the 1930s as a local anesthetic in dentistry and ophthalmology. Just like cocaine, dimethocaine is addictive due to its stimulation of the reward pathway in the brain. However, dimethocaine is a legal cocaine replacement in some countries and is even listed by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) under the category “synthetic cocaine derivatives”. The structure of dimethocaine, being a 4-aminobenzoic acid ester, resembles that of procaine.
  • Uses Dimethocaine is a local anesthetic with stimulatory properties that is half the potency of cocaine. It is often abused as a legal substitute for cocaine. The drug is administered intravenously or nasally, because ingestion would lead to rapid hydrolyzation.Its positive effects are euphoria, stimulation, increased talkativeness and mood lift.However, because dimethocaine acts similar as cocaine, it has comparable negative side effects. These side effects include: tachycardia, difficulty with breathing, pain on the chest, vasoconstriction, insomnia, paranoia and anxiety.
