Mepacaine injection is used as a local anesthetic to numb a specific area of the body before minor surgical procedures, dental procedures, or other medical procedures such as stitches or tooth extraction. It is also used to relieve pain in cases of skin or muscle injuries. The drug works by preventing the transmission of nerve signals from the treated area to the brain, which leads to a temporary loss of the sensation of pain.
Mepacaine is characterized by its fast-acting effect and its effect lasts for an appropriate period that allows the medical procedure to be performed safely and without pain. The injection must be given under the supervision of a specialist doctor, and the recommended dose must be adhered to to avoid side effects. The doctor must be informed in case of allergies or other health problems before using the drug.
