Prilocaine is a local anesthetic of the amino amide type first prepared by Claes Tegner and Nils Löfgren.

 

In its injectable form (trade name Citanest), Prilocaine is often used in dentistry. Prilocaine is also often combined with lidocaine as a topical preparation for dermal anesthesia (lidocaine/prilocaine or EMLA), for treatment of conditions like paresthesia.

Prilocaine Descriptions:

 

Prilocaine cream is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking nerves from transmitting painful impulses to the brain.

 

As Prilocaine has low cardiac toxicity, Prilocaineis commonly used for intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA).

 

In some patients, ortho-toluidine, a metabolite of prilocaine, may cause methemoglobinemia, which may be treated with methylene blue. Prilocaine may also be contraindicated in people with sickle cell anemia, anemia, or symptomatic hypoxia.

 

People with pseudocholinesterase deficiency may have difficulty metabolizing this anesthetic.

 

Before using prilocaine cream:

 

Some medical conditions may interact with prilocaine cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

 

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substance
if you have severe liver disease, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, or a perforated ear drum
if you have been ill.

 

Proper storage of prilocaine cream:

Store prilocaine cream at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C), in a tightly closed container. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep lidocaine/prilocaine cream out of the reach of children and away from pets.
