Roles Classification
Application(s): anticonvulsant
A drug used to prevent seizures or reduce their severity.
local anaesthetic
Any member of a group of drugs that reversibly inhibit the propagation of signals along nerves. Wide variations in potency, stability, toxicity, water-solubility and duration of action determine the route used for administration, e.g. topical, intravenous, epidural or spinal block.

General Comment
2010-12-09 Prilocaine has similar anaesthetic potency to lidocaine, but is less toxic. It has a slower onset of action but a slightly longer duration of activity and less vasodilatory activity than lidocaine. A eutectic mixture of prilocaine and lidocaine is used topically for surface anaesthesia of the skin. Prilocaine hydrochloride is used particularly for infiltration anaesthesia in dentistry.
