(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).
