Propivacaína

Propivacaína is a local anesthetic drug of the amino amide type. It is used to produce local anesthesia and is often administered via injection. Propivacaína works by blocking nerve impulses in the area where it is applied. It is similar in structure and action to other local anesthetics like lidocaine and bupivacaine. The onset of action and duration of anesthesia can vary depending on the concentration and formulation used. It is employed in various medical procedures, including dental surgery, minor surgical interventions, and during labor. Like other local anesthetics, propivacaína can cause side effects, which may include local irritation, pain at the injection site, and in rare cases, systemic effects if absorbed into the bloodstream in sufficient quantities. These systemic effects can manifest as central nervous system disturbances or cardiovascular problems. Dosage and administration should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
