Puudutuslääkkeet, commonly known as local anesthetics, are medications that temporarily block nerve signals in a specific area of the body, causing a loss of sensation. They are widely used in medicine and dentistry to numb a small area, making procedures less painful for the patient. The mechanism of action involves interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in the nerve cell membrane. This prevents the depolarization required for the propagation of action potentials.
The onset and duration of action vary depending on the specific drug used, its concentration, and the
While generally safe when used appropriately, puudutuslääkkeet can have side effects. These can include local reactions
