Details
Prilocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic belonging to the amino amide group. It functions by temporarily numbing the skin and surrounding tissues to block pain sensations during various medical and dental procedures.
For dental use, the maximum recommended dosage of Prilocaine is 8.0 mg/kg (2.7 mg/lb), up to an absolute maximum dose of 500 mg.
Prilocaine is commonly combined with lidocaine in a 5% cream (known as EMLA) to provide effective topical numbing on normal, unbroken skin or external genital areas. To ensure effectiveness, it must be applied under occlusion at the correct time prior to the procedure.
Infiltration anesthesia typically uses a 0.5% to 1% solution (lasting 1 to 1.5 hours). Epidural anesthesia requires 10 to 30 mL of a 1% to 1.5% solution (lasting 2.5 to 3.5 hours), with a strict maximum limit of 600 mg.
A specific metabolite of prilocaine can lead to an uncommon side effect known as methemoglobinemia. If this condition occurs, it can be clinically treated using methylene blue.
