Medicine Description benoxidia 30*0.5ml
benoxidia 30*0.5ml eye drops is a medication that contains benoxinate as its active ingredient, which functions as a local anesthetic. Upon administration, benoxinate penetrates the corneal epithelium, blocking sodium channels in the neuronal cell membranes. This inhibition prevents the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, leading to a temporary loss of sensation in the cornea. The effect is localized, enabling the safe performance of diagnostic and surgical procedures on the eye without discomfort to the patient.
