Прилокаин

Прилокаин Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A local anesthetic that is similar pharmacologically to lidocaine. Currently, it is used most often for infiltration anesthesia in dentistry. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p165)

Прилокаин binds to the intracellular surface of sodium channels which blocks the subsequent influx of sodium into the cell. Action potential propagation and never function is, therefore, prevented. This block is reversible and when the drug diffuses away from the cell, sodium channel function is restored and nerve propagation returns.

Uses

Прилокаин is a local anesthetic used in dental procedures.

Used as a local anaesthetic and is often used in dentistry.

Прилокаин is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Local anesthesia therapy

How Прилокаин works

Прилокаин acts on sodium channels on the neuronal cell membrane, limiting the spread of seizure activity and reducing seizure propagation. The antiarrhythmic actions are mediated through effects on sodium channels in Purkinje fibers.

Food Interaction

Take separate from meals. This is only required when prilocaine is used in the mouth, as it may cause numbness, which can cause bite injury when eating.
