Polocaine MPF (Mepivacaine Hydrochloride) 1.5% Injection Single-Dose Vials 30 mL x 25/Box is a local anesthetic used for numbing specific areas of the body during medical procedures or surgeries. It contains mepivacaine hydrochloride, a fast-acting and longer-lasting anesthetic that is commonly used in dental procedures, regional anesthesia, and outpatient surgeries. The 1.5% concentration means that each milliliter of solution contains 15 mg of mepivacaine hydrochloride. The single-dose vials contain 30 mL of solution, and each box includes 25 vials, making it a commonly used product in medical settings. Polocaine MPF is a prescription medication and should only be administered by a healthcare professional.

Benefits:

  • Localized Numbing Effect: The main benefit of using Polocaine MPF is its ability to numb the area where it is injected. This ensures that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during a medical procedure, making it more comfortable for them.
  • Rapid Onset of Action: Polocaine MPF acts quickly once injected, typically within 1-2 minutes. This means that patients will start feeling the numbness in the desired area soon after receiving the injection, saving both time and discomfort.
  • Long-Lasting Effect: This medication provides a prolonged anesthetic effect compared to other local anesthetics such as lidocaine. It can last for up to 2-3 hours before wearing off, depending on the type of procedure and dosage administered.
  • Ability to Control Pain: By effectively numbing the targeted area, Polocaine MPF helps with pain management during medical procedures. This can be especially beneficial for patients who are unable to tolerate pain or have a low pain threshold.
  • Versatility: Polocaine MPF can be used for different types of medical procedures that require local anesthesia, including dental, orthopedic, and ophthalmologic procedures. This makes it a versatile option for healthcare providers for a wide range of patients and conditions.
  • Reduced Risk of Allergies: Some patients may experience allergic reactions to certain types of local anesthetics. Polocaine MPF is known to have a lower incidence of allergic reactions compared to other anesthetics, making it a safer option for patients who are at a higher risk of allergies.
  • Convenience: Polocaine MPF is available in single-dose vials of 30 mL, making it convenient to dispense and administer. This reduces the risk of contamination and ensures the appropriate dosage for each patient.
  • Localized Effect: Unlike general anesthesia, which puts the entire body to sleep, local anesthesia with Polocaine MPF only affects the targeted area. This reduces the risk of complications and allows the patient to stay conscious during the procedure.

FAQs About Mepivacaine
  • What is Mepivacaine?

    Mepivacaine is a local anesthetic belonging to the amide group, frequently used for local infiltration and regional nerve block anesthesia. It offers quick onset, high efficacy, and is particularly valued in dental procedures.

  • Why do dentists use mepivacaine?

    Dentists favor mepivacaine for its reliable and rapid numbing effects, especially for short to intermediate procedures. Its lack of vasoconstrictor (such as adrenaline) in many formulations makes it suitable for patients with cardiovascular issues or those sensitive to epinephrine.

  • Is mepivacaine the same as carbocaine

    Yes! Carbocaine is a brand name for mepivacaine. So, when a dentist refers to Carbocaine, they are using mepivacaine.

  • When is mepivacaine contraindicated?

    Mepivacaine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to amide anesthetics, severe liver dysfunction, or certain cardiac conditions. Always consult a dental or healthcare professional to assess individual risk.

  • Does mepivacaine increase blood pressure?

    Mepivacaine typically does not increase blood pressure, especially when administered without added adrenaline (epinephrine). This makes it a safe anesthetic option for hypertensive patients.

  • How long does mepivacaine last?

    Mepivacaine’s numbing effects generally last 1.5 to 3 hours for soft tissues and up to 60 minutes for pulpal anesthesia. Its duration is longer than other non-epinephrine local anesthetics.

  • What are the side effects of mepivacaine?

    Possible side effects include localized swelling, redness, or pain at the injection site, as well as rare systemic reactions (dizziness, metallic taste, or allergic reactions). Serious adverse effects are uncommon when used as directed.

  • Is mepivacaine without adrenaline?

    Yes, dental mepivacaine is most commonly used without adrenaline (epinephrine), making it an excellent choice for patients who cannot tolerate vasoconstrictors.

  • Can I use mepivacaine if allergic to lidocaine?

    Mepivacaine and lidocaine are both amide-type local anesthetics. If you have an allergy to amide anesthetics, including lidocaine, you should not use mepivacaine without consulting your healthcare provider.

  • What percentage of mepivacaine is used in dentistry?

    The 3% mepivacaine solution is the standard dosage used in dentistry for infiltration and nerve block techniques.

  • Why Choose Mepivacaine 3%?

    Trusted by dentists globally No adrenaline/epinephrine formula Minimum risk for cardiovascular patients Rapid onset and predictable duration High patient satisfaction Effectively reduces dental pain and anxiety
