Description
Polocaine Injection, 2%, is a local anesthetic solution primarily used for regional anesthesia in various surgical and diagnostic procedures. It contains the active ingredient prilocaine, a member of the amide class of local anesthetics, known for its effective numbing properties. The 2% concentration provides an optimal balance between onset time and duration, making it suitable for a range of minor and major surgical interventions.
The multidose vial packaging, which contains 25 vials of 50 mL each, is designed for clinical efficiency, ensuring that multiple doses can be drawn from a single vial. This configuration is particularly beneficial in settings where large volumes of anesthetic may be required, such as in lengthy procedures or for patients undergoing extensive regional anesthesia.
Prilocaine, the active ingredient in Polocaine, works by blocking sodium channels in nerve fibers, preventing the propagation of nerve impulses. This mechanism results in temporary loss of sensation in the area where it is administered. The duration of anesthesia typically lasts from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the site of administration and the specific procedure.
