For a normal, healthy adult, what is the FDA-labeled maximum recommended dose of articaine?

  1. 7 mg/kg
  2. 3 mg/kg
  3. 12 mg/kg
  4. 15 mg/kg
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 7 mg/kg

The FDA-approved labeling for articaine HCl lists a maximum recommended dose of 7 mg/kg (0.175 mL/kg) by infiltration or nerve block in healthy adults — clinicians should still calculate based on actual patient weight and use the lowest effective dose for the procedure.
