SUMMARY

Prilocaine Hydrochloride 4% with epinephrine 1:200,000 injection is a sterile, non pyrogenic isotonic solution that contains a local anesthetic agent with epinephrine (as bitartrate) and is administered parenterally by injection.

Prilocaine Hydrochloride 4% with Epinephrine 1:200,000 injection is indicated for the production of local anesthesia in dentistry by nerve block or infiltration techniques. Only accepted procedures for these techniques as described in standard textbooks are recommended.

Published Studies Related to Prilocaine and Epinephrine (Prilocaine / Epinephrine)

Injection pain of prilocaine plain, mepivacaine plain, articaine with epinephrine, and lidocaine with epinephrine. [2006]
In a double-blind study design, 1,391 consecutive patients in a general dental practice received one of four different local anesthetics (articaine with epinephrine, lidocaine with epinephrine, mepivacaine plain, or prilocaine plain) via a maxillary buccal infiltration, palatal infiltration, or inferior alveolar block injection...

Evaluation of prilocaine for the reduction of pain associated with transmucosal anesthetic administration. [1999]
This investigation evaluated the use and efficacy of prilocaine HCl (4% plain Citanest) for minimizing pain associated with the intraoral administration of local anesthesia. Clinical anecdotes support the hypothesis that prilocaine without a vasoconstrictor reduces pain during injection...

Prilocaine-phenylephrine and bupivacaine-phenylephrine topical anesthetics compared with tetracaine-adrenaline-cocaine during repair of lacerations. [1998]
The effectiveness of two new topical anesthetics that do not contain cocaine (prilocaine-phenylephrine and bupivacaine-phenylephrine) was compared with that of tetracaine-adrenaline-cocaine (TAC) during laceration repair in children. This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial conducted in the emergency department of a large children's hospital...

Intra-articular and subcutaneous prilocaine with adrenaline for pain relief in day case arthroscopy of the knee joint. [1990]
A randomised, double-blind study was conducted to assess the influence of intra-articular and subcutaneous prilocaine with adrenaline on postoperative pain in day case arthroscopy of the knee. The time to first dose of oral analgesia postoperatively was significantly prolonged in those patients receiving prilocaine but no significant difference in analgesic effect was demonstrated at 4, 8, and 12 h after operation between the two groups..

Methemoglobin levels in generally anesthetized pediatric dental patients receiving prilocaine versus lidocaine. [2013]
The purpose of this study was to measure and compare peak methemoglobin levels and times to peak methemoglobin levels following the use of prilocaine and lidocaine in precooperative children undergoing comprehensive dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia...

Clinical Trials Related to Prilocaine and Epinephrine (Prilocaine / Epinephrine)

Lidocaine-Prilocaine (EMLA) Cream as Analgesia in Hysterosalpingography Practice [Not yet recruiting]

Discharge Conditions of Spinal Anesthesia With Heavy Prilocaine-Fentanyl and Heavy Bupivacaine-Fentanyl [Completed]
In this prospective randomized study the investigators aimed to investigate difference of the duration of spinal anesthesia, discharge times and efficacy between low dose heavy Prilocaine-Fentanyl and heavy Bupivacaine-Fentanyl in outpatient minor anal surgery.

7% Lidocaine/7% Tetracaine Cream Versus 2,5% Lidocaine / 2,5% Prilocaine Cream [Recruiting]

Methemoglobin Levels in Generally Anesthetized Pediatric Dental Patients Receiving Local Anesthetics [Completed]
To establish and compare maximum methemoglobin blood levels and times to maximum methemoglobin blood levels following the administration of the injectable local anesthetics prilocaine and lidocaine when used for dental treatment in pediatric patients under general anesthesia. Patients will be randomized into three equal study groups. Two of the study groups will receive local anesthetic and the third group will not. Methemoglobin blood levels will be non-invasively monitored and recorded throughout dental treatment for all groups using a Masimo Radical-7 Pulse Co-Oximeter device.
