What does it do?

Articaine hydrochloride is a component belonging to the local anesthetic class, primarily used to block pain during dental treatments and other procedures. It temporarily interrupts the transmission of nerve signals, preventing the sensation of pain.

Articaine blocks the sodium channels of nerve cells, preventing the transmission of nerve signals. As a result, pain signals from the affected area are not transmitted to the brain, alleviating pain.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Articaine acts more quickly and breaks down faster than other local anesthetics, resulting in a shorter duration of residual effects in the body. It is also used in conjunction with epinephrine to enhance vasoconstriction effects, extending the duration of anesthesia.
