Description
Carbocaine MDV 2% (20 mg/mL) is a sterile, preservative-free local anesthetic solution containing mepivacaine hydrochloride. It is commonly used in medical and dental procedures for regional anesthesia, providing effective and rapid pain relief by blocking nerve impulse transmission. The product is suitable for procedures requiring short to intermediate durations of anesthesia.
This formulation is presented in a mist gray flip-top vial containing 50 mL of solution, ensuring easy identification and secure storage. The multidose vial allows for multiple withdrawals under sterile conditions, making it a convenient choice in clinical settings. The absence of preservatives reduces the risk of adverse reactions, ensuring safety during administration.
Mepivacaine, the active ingredient, belongs to the amide class of local anesthetics. It works by inhibiting sodium ion influx through neuronal membranes, preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. The onset of action is rapid, typically within 2-5 minutes, with effects lasting up to 2-3 hours, depending on the dosage and application site.
