AMYLOCAINE HCL
Amylocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing pain signal transmission. It is used for minor procedures and topical anesthesia. Benefits include rapid onset. Side effects may include skin irritation, allergic reactions, and, in rare cases, systemic toxicity with excessive absorption.

Product Description
Mechanism of action
Amylocaine hydrochloride is an ester‑class local anaesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal membranes. This prevents initiation of action potentials and temporarily interrupts sensory transmission.
Benefits and advantages
Historically valuable in topical anaesthesia research and in modelling ester‑type anaesthetic metabolism and hydrolysis by plasma cholinesterases.
Side effects and risks
Potential CNS excitation, cardiovascular depression and hypersensitivity (common among ester anaesthetics). Protective handling is essential.
