Product Description
Mechanism of action
Benoxinate HCl is an ester-type local anaesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in sensory nerves, preventing action potential initiation and propagation. It is primarily used in ophthalmic anaesthesia.
Benefits and advantages
Used in ocular pharmacology, corneal nerve-mapping studies, anaesthetic penetration research and sodium-channel physiology experiments. Its rapid onset makes it useful for short-duration sensory-block modelling.
Side effects and risks
Risks include corneal irritation, allergic reactions, CNS toxicity upon systemic absorption and potential cardiac depression at high exposure levels. Handle under local-anaesthetic safety protocols.
