WHAT CITANEST DENTAL
WITH OCTAPRESSIN IS USED
FOR
Citanest DENTAL with Octapressin is
used to prevent or relieve pain during
dental procedures, but it will not put
you to sleep.This medicine belongs to a
group of medicines called local
anaesthetics.
It is injected into the gums and works
by making the nerves unable to pass
pain messages to the brain.
Depending on the amount used, it will
either totally stop pain or will cause a
partial loss of feeling.
The felypressin makes the blood
vessels at the site of injection narrower,
which means you bleed less. It is then
easier for your dental practitioner to
see what is happening.
ASK YOUR DENTAL PRACTITIONER IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS
MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR
YOU.
This medicine is not addictive.

PHARMACOLOGY
Prilocaine is a membrane stabilising agent and a local anaesthetic of
the amide type.
Prilocaine stabilises the neuronal membrane and reversibly prevents
the initiation and
conduction of nerve impulses thereby producing local anaesthesia.
Prilocaine has a similar time of onset and potency to lignocaine.
Prilocaine has a lower
toxicity than lignocaine.
The onset and duration of anaesthesia depend on the route of
administration, status of
the patient and the dosage (volume and concentration) employed. The
addition of
felypressin reduces the rate of absorption of prilocaine from the site
of injection thereby
increasing its duration of action.
Felypressin is a synthetic hormone with similar properties to
vasopressin. In contrast to
adrenaline, felypressin does not produce ischaemia distal to or at the
injection site. 3%
Citanest Dental with Octapressin is therefore indicated for routine
use. It is particularly
suitable for use in patients for whom the use of solutions containing
sympathomimetic
agents is contrain
