Pharmacological properties

This medicinal product is a pharmaceutical product used for local anesthesia.
One of the main active ingredients of articaine hydrochloride is a topical anesthetic. The analgesic effect is explained by the ability to stabilize the membranes of nerve fibers due to the blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels. Pain relief comes quickly, after two to three minutes, and lasts from 45 minutes to one and a half hours.
Epinephrine (epinephrine) is an adrenergic agonist that can act on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. It increases the efficiency and duration of local anesthesia by inhibiting the flow of the administered anesthetic into the general systemic circulation.
The mechanism of its action is due to the ability to activate adenylate cyclase on the cell membrane (its inner surface).
Reduces intraocular pressure, blood supply in internal organs, inhibit gastrointestinal motility. Has the ability to increase the oxygen demand of the heart muscle.
