A '''local anesthetic with vasoconstrictor''' is a [[combination drug]] of a [[local anesthetic]] in order to induce absence of pain in an area, given with a [[vasoconstrictor]] in order to increase the duration of local anesthesia by constricting the blood vessels, thereby safely concentrating the anesthetic agent for an extended duration, as well as reducing [[hemorrhage]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Yagiela JA |title=Vasoconstrictor agents for local anesthesia |journal=Anesth Prog |volume=42 |issue=3-4 |pages=116–20 |year=1995 |pmid=8934977 |pmc=2148913 |doi= |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2148913/pdf/anesthprog00243-0053.pdf}}</ref>
