N01BB04 • prilocaine • Nervous system | Anesthetics, local | Amides

Prilocaine is a local anesthetic used to reduce pain during medical procedures, such as minor surgeries or dental treatments. It works by blocking the conduction of nerve impulses, leading to numbness in the treated area.

The medication is administered via local injection or as anesthetic creams and should be used under the supervision of a specialist doctor. It is important to follow the recommended dosage to avoid adverse reactions.

Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, allergic reactions, or, in rare cases, methemoglobinemia, a condition requiring immediate medical attention.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as respiratory diseases or allergies, to ensure the safe use of prilocaine.
