Glycyrrhizin epinephrine constricts blood vessels during local anesthesia, prolonging hemostasis and anesthesia effects.
MFDS ingredient code M094252
Glycyrrhizin epinephrine is a salt form of epinephrine, which is used in conjunction with local anesthetics to constrict blood vessels. This helps reduce bleeding at the anesthesia site and prolongs the anesthesia effect. It is primarily added to local anesthetics during dental or surgical procedures.
Glycyrrhizin epinephrine acts on the alpha receptors of blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction. This reduces blood flow to the anesthesia area, decreases bleeding, and slows the rate at which the anesthetic escapes through the blood vessels, prolonging the effect.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Compared to other vasoconstrictors, it acts quickly and its effects are clear, making it widely used in dental and surgical fields.
