applications:
articaine is a local anaesthetic that has been approved overseas for several years. like other amide anaesthetics, articaine blocks nerve conduction when it is infiltrated around a nerve. this action is prolonged by combining the drug with a vasoconstrictor.
the combination of articaine and adrenaline can be used for local or regional anaesthesia for dental procedures. anaesthesia begins within six minutes and lasts for an hour. the half-life of articaine is approximately 1.8 hours. it is metabolised and then mainly excreted in the urine.
