(prilocaine hydrochloride and Octapressin corresponding to felypressin)

 

Citanest is unique. It is adrenaline free and the only local anaesthetic that uses Felypressin as a vasoconstrictor to maintain anaesthetic in the desired area. Citanest  is compatible with patient medications where plain and adrenaline containing solutions are not, and avoids the cardiovascular effects of adrenaline. It is also available in self aspirating cartridges.

 

Citanest contains prilocaine, which is 40% less toxic than lidocaine yet still provides the depth and duration demanded by routine dental procedures  [1] Handbook of Local Anaesthetic, Stanley F. Malamed (5th edition).
