Effectiveness

How Citanest Plain Affects PatientsPrilocaine blocks signals that allow sodium to enter the cells. This stops nerves from sending messages, which prevents action potential propagation and nerve function. The block is temporary, so when the drug is no longer present, sodium can enter the cells again and the nerves can resume normal function.
How Citanest Plain works in the bodyPrilocaine works by blocking the movement of sodium into certain nerve cells. This reduces the spread of seizure activity and stops heart arrhythmias from happening.
