Description
Proparacaine HCl 0.5% Solution Dropper Bottle (15 mL) is a local anesthetic used primarily for ophthalmic procedures. As a member of the ester group of anesthetics, Proparacaine works by inhibiting the transmission of nerve impulses in the eye. This action provides effective local anesthesia, enabling patients to undergo eye examinations, diagnostic tests, or minor surgical procedures without discomfort.
The drug has a rapid onset, typically within 30 seconds, and provides a duration of anesthesia that lasts for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. This makes it ideal for short-term eye procedures, such as tonometry, foreign body removal, and minor surgical interventions. The dropper bottle ensures accurate and hygienic administration, minimizing the risk of contamination.
Proparacaine HCl 0.5% Solution is designed for use in clinical and hospital settings under the supervision of healthcare professionals. It is important to follow the recommended dosing instructions to avoid overuse or adverse effects.
