THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFACTION
Local Anaesthetic for Dental Use
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Posicaine is a local anaesthetic that has the reversible effect of
blocking the conduction of
painful sensations. Posicaine decreases nerve conduction by
diminishing the sodium ion
influx during the action potential period. The epinephrine is a
vasoconstrictor added to
Posicaine to slow down the passage into the general circulation and
thus ensure the prolonged
maintenance of an active tissue concentration. The anaesthesia is
obtained rapidly (1 to 3
minutes) and lasts from 45 to 75 minutes per cartridge.
Injected in the mouth by the submucosal route with a solution
containing 1:200,000
epinephrine, articaine reaches the blood concentration peak about 17
minutes after the
injection. The half-life elimination is very short: about 25 minutes.
Articaine is excreted
mainly through the urine with total elimination of 76 % and 89 %
following intramuscular
and intravenous administration, respectively. Two unidentified
metabolites of articaine are
detected in the urine following intramuscular injection accounting for
87 % and 2 % of the
administered dose. No metabolites are detected in the blood following
intravenous
administration.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Posicaine is indicated for infiltration anaesthesia and nerve block
anaesthesia in clinical
dentistry. This
